Believe Nothing yer told, 'n only 1/2 of what ya see...
What boat is it that you're looking at - or do you already have it? There are just too many of them out there to get yourself blocked in, ya'know?
Nope haven't bought the boat. Being very picky so I don't get myself backed into a "money pit."
I would say steer away from the OMC then, unless you're specifically looking to restore/keep alive an antique drive system. For practical usability and a more robust drive - put your money into something newer with a Merc.
Hey that's great! Century is a fine boat, and if you've got something that is clean and easy to get in good running order for under $1,000 you're probably doing well.
Thank you. I don't know much about Century boats during the 80's. Why are they a fine boat?
I just want hear your opion or what you know from other people who have owned a Century bow rider.
How can you tell if the engine is a reman? I think the engine in there now is a reman but not sure.
Century has been building boats for a long time, and they've been (in my experience with them) very consistent in quality. There was a family on our lake that had one (I don't honestly even know what model), but I was always impressed with it. Over the years as I've looked at them more and more I've been taken with the style and the handling. The Coronado is a "maybe someday" boat for me. I've always considered Century's in that same class as Chris-Craft for pleasure boats. You can always get a bad one, but as a rule they're quality boats.I don't know much about Century boats during the 80's. Why are they a fine boat?
Post some pictures in the Century forum and start getting folks opinions. Those guys will have more experience and information than I will.I just want hear your opion or what you know from other people who have owned a Century bow rider.
I'm not sure. I've never dealt with one. Someone will be along who has though.How can you tell if the engine is a reman? I think the engine in there now is a reman but not sure.
