Ditto on the Century's being cool. This is my dad's fully restored Black Raven.

Cool boat. Good luck on the sale.

Craig,
I'm putting new covering boards on a '61 17' Resorter this weekend. Number 2 son is sanding topsides as we speak. Keel up resto of our first boat. Had a '57 Arabian for a while with a CCC Crusader in it. Beautiful boat, wish I hadn't sold it. I'd like to see pictures of your Arabian sometime.

JimG, Is that a Correct Craft in the woods? I've had a Torino and a Ski Lark. I love the old glass boats. :boat:

We replaced the blue vinyl deck with African Mahogany. The deck is done, really nice. Now, we are going to do a bottom. Not perfect order, but the way it goes.

I will have my ol Resorter 16 in Lakewood Concours this weekend. She's a "50 foot" boat. I will redo her when I get the time. First the Arabian, then the Nova, then....
I will try and get some pics. How did the covering boards come out?

[Genuine Risk]

Covering boards went on real slick. My son, Mike put the last of the plugs in Saturday. I told him after the covering boards that they were the last nerve racking thing I had to do. Then I cored the hole through the keel for the rudder. Hope it's in the right spot !! I have pictures in an album @ Kodak Gallery ( The old Ofoto). If you send along your e-mail address I'll share with you. I'm hopelessly inept at computer wizardry so I won't attempt to post here. What are you running in your Resorter, Arabian and Coronado. We have a 327CI Graymarine in the Resorter. Originally had two Carter YH side drafts but I've upgraded to a 4 barrel. I know the Arabians often had 390CI Fords but there were some with 427's and 426 wedge motors. 66-67 Arabians. My all time favorite !! Thanks for your interest.

Regards,

Tim

That's great news! I am running the 170hp Gray Marine in the Resorter 16. I believe it is a 292 Y Block. I just this week borrowed an intake off a 312 that was given to me, and put a Holley 600 cfm. Just 5 minutes ago chopped a neat hole in the engine box. I will cover it with a chrome (naturally) scoop later. But the boat show is this weekend. It runs. Those carbs are wicked looking, but I just couldn't handle both the shipping to Sierra Boat for rebuilds and the dripping of gas over the coil. In a perfect world...but mine ain't perfect. Besides they were designed for a trans that had the engine sitting at less of an angle.

The Coronado Express (factory flybridge!) has your engine - the 327 AMC with dual Carter YHs. The seller also gave me a complete marine Hemi - but I think access to the cabin will be too restricted. Gawd, nothing looks like a Hemi - well i guess the Boss 9, but they're pretty rare.

The Arabian has the standard 285hp 390, although I have a couple 428s sitting around if I decide to. I hear it should go about 50 - thats fast enough for me. It does have a flat bottom with a broad beam. Its a '67 with dual buckets and no rear console.

The Nova - it has two supposedly Holman Moody marinizations with v-drives. 235hp 302 counter rotating Fords. The regular fair for that rig.

send me the pics....rancheroxl@yahoo.com

Thanks, Craig

Craig,
The 312 Ford is a great motor. Rated @215HP, I think. I've seen a couple 16's with that engine and they fly ! I once paired up with a little Dunphy that had a 312 in it. He literally drove in circles around me !!! Very humbling. I must see pictures of the Coronado. Never heard of such a thing. Fascinates me. Find a way to install the Hemi. You are right. The big Chryslers are stunning. 331, 345 or 392 CI ? And lastly, You need not make excuses for the 390 Ford in the Arabian and it will do 50 all day. But one of those 428's..... Oh Boy!!

Price Drop-I'll take $1800.need $$$$$ for other projects-Hardware alone is worth more if I separate it. :boat:

[rustnrot]

Is the front of the bow pointed or blunt? Some of the Centurys had a very pronounded blunted bow.
