1989 Celebrity 187SE

I am just wondering if anyone knows how many 187se were manufactured ever and then if so how many were manufactured in 1989? I have a 1989 187se I am restoring and have found out that 1989 was the last year the company was in business. Any links to information on restorations would be helpful.

That info was likely lost w Celebrity going out of business.

Even last boat off the line the last day of production doesnt hold any more value then any other boat built that year.

Search function will help you find Celebrity rehabs, but they are typical boats built the typical way, so dig into the resto forum and ask plenty of questions

Thanks yea not worried about it having any extra value it is all sentimental my parents had this boat custom build back in 89 and it took me 18 years to track it down and buy it back. I just want to get it restored to original.

So question would you replace the original 5.0 chevy motor after full rebuild or would you find a 5.7 350 and have it rebuilt. From what I have read most of the other original parts from the 305 will bold right up to the 350?
