Liberator -
The orange & white boat in the picture you posted is a Brendella not a Centurian ... The white boat pictured above looks like a Centurian.
Bye the Bye ... We'd be interested in finding out the first four (4) and the last two (2) letters/numbers of Hull ID # of that orange and white boat if the owner wouldn't mind ... We always interested in Brendellas and info about them.

Flattie posted the pic of my white centurion.I bought the boat and trailer 3 yrs ago and making upgrades and hull changes to improve performance.The boat is a 1979 and painted white imron.I am running a 572 chev with 1471 littlefield, 2 doms,etc.I just sent out the pump for detailing.The boat rides real nice.

The boat I have was david's two owners ago.The boat looks the same as it did when I first saw it sitting at paul's fab.I've already replaced the bunks on the trailer,and raised them up 2",when I went to removed the boat from the trailer the bottom scraped along the frame of the trailer.My plans are to have all the fiberglass work done,and painted by summer,the boat came minus everything but the hull ,title and trailer.After the bodywork is done I will outfit the boat.Hey del51 how long is your boat? do you have a bench seat or buckets?doyou have any more pics?I posted some pics on groups.msn.com/texasjettinfamilyandfriends . :hammer2: :hammer2:

Chris,
How far forward from the transom is your motor mounted?
Did someone race that hull before?
I'm at 28.5" to the back of the motor plate with my Stealth.

Bear, I don't really know alot about Tony's boat. He said that it is a Centurion ?? and they were only a few made here in Texas like it???
But I will try and get VIN# off it next time I see him and keep ya posted :wink:
Later, Gopherrr

Hello Mark, My engine is 30.5 inches back, was 35.5.I understand the previous owner did some racing. Iwant to set back the pump and make some mods to the bottom based on the suggestions from MPD. It has a front and back bench seat. The back is pretty much useless.Happy New year,Chris
