Boat Summary
$5,500 (USD)
Boat ID: 54598

Being fast and powerful, this is the quintessential ski boat of the 50's/60's, and the same models were used at the Cypress Gardens ski shows. The boat has had the same owner for nearly 30 years and has a documented history. It was featured in the Century Boat Club's Thoroughbred magazine and a Certificate of Authenticity from the club is included. The boat has been well maintained and all the wood and framing is sound - no rot. The engine was recently run, and everything works as it should. It has a smooth 600 rpm idle and revs freely without hesitation. The Velvet Drive transmission shifts and engages properly. All gauges, including the original Century mechanical tachometer, are working, along with the dash and navigation lights. The upholstery is not original but is clean and in nice condition. The Century and Resorter emblems are as new, and the step pads are very good. Brand new original script step pads are included along with other parts and accessories. The engine has been upgraded with an Edelbrock marine 4bbl. carburetor, and electronic ignition, and no-mess oil changing that includes a remote oil filter; no oil spilled in the bilge. The boat cover features a strong, custom-made frame for all-year round protection. Delivery in the Northeast is available if needed.

The custom-fitted trailer is in excellent condition. Virtually all the hardware has been upgraded to stainless steel. Rust will not be an issue. The frame is galvanized and is painted with PPG epoxy that will not peal. The tires are brand new and are mounted on galvanized wheels. Custom made folding guide-ons have LED back-up lights. Included are stainless transom tie-downs. Optional 50's style fenders and Kelsey-Haynes wire wheels with stainless Century center caps are available.
