There is a thread in the v drive forum with a bunch of pix of them, I scarfed it from there. Cool boats thou. wink

I always thought the Arabian was the coolest boat out there, wanted one for years.
Century has been in business since 1927. In 1996 they quit making pleasure boats and focused on fishing boats only. I found a 1996 24' Arabian in late '97 that was still new, bought it from a bankrupt dealer. I paid just about half the retail price for it.
It has been a great boat, built really well and looks nice.

I learned how to ski behind a boat like your old woodie. My dad still has an 18' Century. He moved into that one back in '81 and it still runs good.
The Mark IV Centurys were the bad boys of the day back then on the lake I grew up on.

We had a 16' century back in ohhh i'd say 76-ish 165hp in-line 6..... pulled up 6 skiers at one time on Lake Shasta one day....I was probably 9 or 10 at the time and I remember how proud my dad was around the campfire that night LMAO
