Description

This 1964 17 foot Century Resorter 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 where the boat deteriorated to the point of requiring full 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 and all rotted wood 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. Marine gradeplywood and new mahogany planked bottom with 5200 sealer. Does get some water in bilge but easily handled by automatic bilge pump. 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 not remembering everything that was done because basically everything was touched and either reworked, rebuilt, orreplaced.
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. Originalswim ladder. Foot pedal throttle option. Original 1964 price list showing list price and option pricing is included. Engine manuals are also included.
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. I have an original pair of manifolds as well as an extra oil pan that will go with the sale. 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 this summer. Clear titles in hand. Boat and trailer registered in TX.
