1975 Century Arabian V Drive Boat "The Gentleman's Ski Boat" - Partial restoration complete with all the hard work done. I have all the right paperwork for this boat. The boat is titled and registered in the state of Massachusetts. The trailer has never been registered, but I have the Certificate of Origin. You will not have any issues with the DMV or Boat Registration.This is a truly awesome boat that just needs someone to finish putting her back together. While I had great plans for this boat, I no longer have the means to complete. I have invested a lot of money and time here and will be disappointed not to see this project through.Here are the pertinent details:-19' Closed Bow classic fiberglass V drive Boat. - 98% complete (2 century vents are missing with some miscellaneous screws and most of the original teak is gone)- Chrysler M 440 Reverse Rotation V8 Motor - runs (Have a recent movie clip of engine running) Have an extra intake manifold, oil pan, cam shaft and oil pump.- Paragon Gears PV-41R transmission and V Drive (Transmission appears good, Vdrive case has a 4" crack in the housing. I was quoted $50 Inch to have the case cold stitched. The internal gears are good) -Oil Coolers are both bad and need to be replaced- Stringers and deck have been replaced with marine wood. I used Mahogany and Douglas Fir for the stringers all glassed in with West System Epoxy- New 4 lb foam poured for the engine bed and 2 lb foam for the rest of the floor.- Needs new vinyl, but all pieces are there to be used as templates- Prop Shaft/Propeller are excellent will need new shaft to vdrive coupler- Rudder is there but bent (should be able to be straightened) - Hull will need to be painted, there was a large section that was damaged. The area has been repaired, but will need some filler to make perfect.- Most Chrome trim is very good to excellent. One of the grab rails has a dent- Bow Light is there but is pretty pitted.- Horns are there but are pretty pitted.- Headlight is there and is a 8 out of 10- Windshield is perfect- Side windows are plexiglass from the factory and have some crazing- Transom is all new wood and glassed in.- Gas Tank is empty but does have some dents/gouges - will need to be evaluated- Steering works well- Vernier style throttle is there, but doesn't move smoothly- Dash and all gauges are there and are a 8 out of 10- Mooring cover - Gas filler neck is pitted and should be replaced- Trailer is a 2007 Karavan double axel trailer with brakes. It is near perfect but will need a new fitting for one of the hydraulic lines.Also have 100's of pictures from dis-assembly and re-assembly that I will burn to a thumb drive/cd. Note, the motor, transmission and Vdrive are NOT in the boat. I have an engine hoist that I used to remove the engine and can include for an extra $200.00 Photobucket link with lots of pictures: http://photobucket.com/albums/ee133/marksa1458/Century ArabianThe boat is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel/close auction early. Boat is currently garaged and available for inspection by appointment.Similiar to correct craft, Malibu, mastercraft, moomba, supra
