Century built a lot of different models Kev...whatcha looking to buy? What power plant? What year? What condition? How much?<br /><br />Some of the late mid 50's to early 60's Century's were some of the sexiest boats of the era. I'd put them up against a Chris-Craft any day...not to offend any Chris-a-holics out there!!<br /><br />Walt

Re: has anybody had experience...

actually walt, all I really know about it is that it is a 19 foot century, 1978 model with 5 liter mercruiser. I really like the fact that it has a mercruiser. It has a crack in the hull, and the floor is rotted a bit. I have seen a picture, and it does look to be a bit ahead of it's time as far as hull construction, but I haven't seen it all yet. I am looking for a fixer upper. I have just got my boat lined out, or at least I can't really justify doing anything major to it yet. It floats, and looks pretty good, so I'll have to get another to play with.

Re: has anybody had experience...

All the Century's I have seen have been pretty solid looking boats... heavy boat as I recall... 5.0 litre Mercrusier... good power plant (305 Chev) I would assume with weight of this boat... Rochester 4 bbl... Keep us posted...<br /><br />
