Seller Notes: 
NO ENGINE.Trailer - good shape. Outdrive - good shape. Was fully restored in 2011. Needs re-restore to repair bumps and bruises here and there. Stainless trim in perfect condition. Chrome has some tarnishing. Teak wood trim (new in 2011) is graying and needs penetrating oil to restore color. Not sure if trim pump (new in 2011) works. See description.
Description: 

Up front - this boat has NO MOTOR and is in decent (not perfect) shape. Aluminum EZLoader trailer is in good shape with some accessory rust. The trailer was purchased new in 2010 for $1850.This is a classy hotrod on the water. The 1970's Century's were moving to fiberglass hulls from the old woodies of the 60's but maintained that vintage muscular styling. I restored it in 2011 with NEW stringers, engine mounts, marine plywood floor sealed in epoxy, seats, kitty cat deck, carpet, upholstery, wood trim (teak), dashboard, steering wheel, throttle control, stereo and speakers, swim deck, trim motor, and repainted with two-part Interlux marine paint. It got lots of admiration from friends and strangers.The boat ran 55 mph, makes a nice big wake, seats 6, optional thru-hull exhaust (hot rod sound) or outdrive (bubbles underwater). We had a lot of family fun in it.She died a quick death when the bilge got swamped. One of the exhaust ports came off and water leaked into the bilge about 24". The engine got 3/4 submerged and it was seized. I removed the engine and am now offering it for sale without one. To install the same 1977 Mercruiser 260 crate engine is about $1900. Example: see "marineengines-us.com"If you are up for a project with a big payoff at the end (a sweet boat), then this is good boat for you. It requires a lot less work now than when I did the first restoration.
