Arabian hull widths

[Jays cox 1979 Arabian]

Hi I'm new to this forum. I own a 1979 Century Arabian it's the 16'8 model the smallest one.. I love the boat but I'd like to have something a little bigger. Ive found an older 74 20ft Arabian with a 440 in it a few hours from me.

So now for my question. How much bigger hull does this larger Arabian have? How much wider is it? Would it be noticeably bigger than my current boat? Thanks!

Re: Arabian hull widths

You'll likely not notice much difference in interior space. I have gone from a 16' Resorter to a 18' Resorter. You'd be gaining roughly the same amount. A difference, but not much. You will notice the difference with the 440 though. For all things Century, check out these two sites.

My 74 200
92" key switch to back of seat
71.5" Inside the side windows.
1974 was the last year before they went to the long side windows and Z transom.

Are you interested in looking at a larger arabian, or buying the larger arabian. You could look at mine , its a little bit closer but not for sale. mine is the sterndrive model,

Ok that gives me a good idea of the size difference. I measured my boat the other day i don't remember the numbers but there wasn't much difference in the width. Ill measure it again and post my width numbers.

It is an I/O Arabian, but it needs some love and it's cheap:

Yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for.. I'm trying to looking the shipping costs but I'm not having much luck.. I'm all the way up in Minneapolis Minnesota so Nevada is a long ways away... You you guys know of good low cost boat transporters?
