TOPIC: 1981 Fiberglass Classic Boat

At the lake.

18 foot Century Resorter

Conneaut Lake

Straight shaft inboard, center engine box.

You have to love those classic Century Windshields.

They often used the rear window glass from an auto to make their boat's windshields.

Beautiful boat, elegant is the word that comes to mind.

Century made their Resorter models in many runabout sizes. Often, they turned a wood hull upside down and had Leon Slickers mad the fiberglass mold for them that would then be used to make the fiberglass boat. Slickers had worked at Chris Craft, made his own boats and used this side assinment with Century to keep busy.

Leon and his family own Tiara Yachts and Pursuit Fish Boats. Again, very upscale (and to steal your perfect word choice... elegant), fine boats.

I love the colors.

Is is said that this color is seen underway on the water by other boaters as a Mahogany Wood boat.

Chevy V-8 small block.
