Century Arabian, 1958, 19ft Mahogany Runabout, Wood Boat,

1958 Century Arabian, 19ft, original Graymarine super 200 6cyl (136HP) custom trailer included.

story made as short possible: we purchased the lovely boat in 2011 thinking it was basically restored and ready to use...only to find out it was not what it was said to be. Splash stripsrepaired, bottom inspected, new hull varnish, waterline, antifouling paint in 2011. Original engine completely gone through winter of 2012 (all compression good, carb rebuild, etc). And we finally had the most glorious boating season ever in 2013...everything functioned exactly as it should, and life wassuperb. Last year we did not get a chance to enjoy her until the very end of the WI boating season...and she is currently in need of a starter rebuild (engine fires up and runs reliably, but starting takes some effort).So all in all...she's pretty darn good...hull and top are great, interior is not original, was redone by previous owner (final step on our list was to restore to original specs...but it's not off putting as it is), could use some antifouling touch up...all chrome is there and great. We think she's a great 'user' boat...and certainly not much work away from show worthy.any and all questions are great, so please feel free to ask. (reserve is well below other comparable sales and other onlinelistings of the same boat...we are on the hunt for something more utilitarian, and no room for 2 boats...so a motivated sale!...though we'll really miss her!)
