This 1964 17 foot Century Resorter mahogany wooden boat has been owned by two families in its 52 years of life. I am the 3rd owner (son of 2nd owner). First 20 years of its life were spent actively on Chain of Lakes in Fox Lake, IL. Second 20 were spent in outdoor storage in southeast Louisiana after which the boat needed some restoration. Luckily I brought the boat to TX in 2005 just 6 months before Katrina roared through SE LA. In doing so, it was spared certain destruction and was able to be fully and professionally restored top to bottom, inside and out, in 2007. 2007 restoration included: Any damaged/rotted wood was replaced. Gauges reworked. Original hours left intact on tachometer. Currently 597, was 579 at restoration. All chrome re-chromed. Stainless polished. New stainless fuel tank. Motor completely rebuilt. All interior vinyl was replaced. Seat foam new. Bow and stern pennant poles restored. New flooring. New step pads. New windshield. Double bottom with marine grade plywood and new mahogany planks with epoxy and 5200 sealer. Custom built RoadRunner trailer (with electric brakes) and break away tongue (for easy garage storage) included. Tires in excellent shape. New brake drums, pads, and bearings in 2016. I am sure I am not remembering everything that was done because basically everything was touched and either reworked, rebuilt, or replaced. Boat floor is covered with easily removable carpet to keep floor cool to the feet. Original center mounted ski pole. All lights and gauges work. Garage kept since restoration. Less than 20 hours of use since restoration. Fresh water use only. Never in salt or brackish water. Modern bimini top (red Sunbrella fabric to match interior) fitted to provide much needed shade in the TX summer sun. Original swim ladder. Foot pedal throttle option. Ford 390 Interceptor with Velvet drive 1:1 transmission. Original Interceptor 352 engine was replaced in 1981 with Interceptor 390 version. In 2007 restoration the 390 was rebuilt and cylinders were bored .060 over so total displacement is now 401 cubic inches. Mallory electronic ignition module in place of points. New Edelbrock marine carb. Barr Marine exhaust manifolds. Boat does 40+ mph easily. Wood and varnish are in excellent condition. The gorgeous red and white color combination interior is in excellent condition. Professional restoration completed by Fleetwood Boats in Austin, TX. This boat needs nothing to enjoy and show! Boat runs and rides great, just like a wood boat should! Used central TX lakes last summer. Clear titles in hand. Boat and trailer registered in TX. Can provide more photos as needed. In-person appointments welcomed and encouraged. Water tests arranged for serious inquiries only. Please contact through eBay if interested or have questions. Not interested in any trades. I do not need help selling the boat.

It is really a clean boat with current tags and registration. I love this boat but last year I took it out only one time. I hope it finds a good home...Trailer is not pretty but it works just fine.
