I finally broke down and bought my first bough. A 1993 Century 180LX bowrider with a 4.3 Merc/Alpha One...

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I haven't put it in the water yet as the gear and throttle cables are being replaced (as well as some other maintenance things), a $400-600 hit right off the bat.

Talk about an initiation into the world of boat ownership!

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you what boat stands for:

Break
Out
Another
Thousand

We have all been there.

Thanks! Yeah I am very familiar with the acronym, lol.

Here are a few pics from the ad the previous owner had.

Thanks! I'm out of town next week, and hopefully the mechanic will have her all fixed up for men upon my return;-)

So how do you like it?? I just bought a 1992 180LX. I am curious about your gauge panel. I see from the pic that yours seems to have wood grain? I am looking into redoing mine and would KILL a close up picture!!
