I have dreamed of owning a boat for 5 years. I've spent literally dozens of hours just sitting at launch ramps and watching and learning. I seen this Century and TOTALLY fell in love with it. It's a 19.5" beauty... A Cuddy. The Mercruiser 170 4 cyl 3.7 Liter engine is very accessible and seems to be rather simple. I changed the points, distributor cap, plugs and wires... I made a gallant attempt at the impeller and didn't have any trouble until trying to get the shift cable hooked back up on the lower unit when putting it back together... (having the thing in forward gear is what everyone has told me, but that wasn't enough). It's currently at the Marina getting a good "goin' over"...
At any rate, I'm wondering if any of the salty Century owners out there have any comments on the Palomino. Was it a decent boat in its day? Is that Mercruiser engine a decent one?
I'm looking forward to meeting some peeps that are as passionate about boating as I am. I couldn't be happier to be one of your peers...
Peace.
