Description: 

will deliver with in 200 miles of Tacoma washington after full payment1986 century cortez 300 twinhas twin chevy small blocks with 230 hp each equaling 460 hp total .. for a 30 ft boat and 4600 lbs still does 42 mph on open water .. both engines run amazing, one carburetor recently rebuilt, all appliances work but will need a cleaning.. has a aluminum ski rack worth about $1800 added on and the front canopy was redone at $900 both engines are worth 1500 a piece in marine world! so the value this boat offers is way more than the price! the book value on boat is 12k i know because they tried to charge me that at the vehicle licensing.. trailer is a custom 3 axle not a factory 3 axle so its not like someones buying the trailer thats worth more than im asking, but it will work to pull the boat.the interior up top was removed for more room and fishing! and the floor has been removed in the middle walk way due to water damage from sitting at moorage for two years uncovered! eventually the batteries went dead and so did bilge.. good news is the water only got so high and only did a little damage! most the labor has been done, just needs a sheet of plywood strip about 16 inches wide and 7 feet long.. and some foam under it.. and to finish it off i was gonna get waterproof laminate at like home depot. reason for selling is i am moving to eastern wa and theres no lake for 6 hours thats big enough for this boat! remember its twin propellers, twin rudders etc like a ship! weighs 4600 lbs and is heavy to tow! however one rudder did get bent and broke from tow company, both props are fine! and theres a place in tacoma that makes stainless steel ones for 300.. so purdy much it needs work but boats like this any newer usually go for 20k

It's a real shame when a good boat gets hacked up by morons as this one apparently did.

Michael Riebs - 16/10 7:13PM

I bought this boat in May of 2020. The ad is somewhat misleading as to how extensive the water damage in the cabin was. We ended up completely gutting the interior, and rebuilding the cabin with brand new everything.
The wiring was, as one might expect on a 35 year old boat, a bunch of mangled spaghetti, so ALL the wiring has been removed, and a brand new electrical system has been installed, including new 120V ->12V converter, 12V -> 120V inverter, charger, house battery bank, 2 120V breaker panels and 2 12V breaker panels, galvanic isolator, new lighting, new kitchen appliances, new helm and electronics.
The galley has been equipped with granite and corian countertops, and the wet-head has been rendered completely waterproof on the inside (something that was not the case from the factory in 1986) This boat is now brand-new on the insde, with the original beautiful lines of the 1980's era cruiser.
The engines were able to start when I bought it. Have not yet had a chance to get to work on tuning, etc., but I assume they will work again.
