Experience the true essence of boating aboard this exquisite wooden vintage boat. Its timeless styling captivates the eye while allowing the wind to tousle your hair. The V8 engine produces a symphony of power, whether idling gently or roaring with the throttle wide open. Breathing in the crisp air on the water invigorates your senses and clears your mind. And there's an added sensory delight this boat doubles as a ski boat, complete with a mid-ship ski tow ring. Brace yourself for an exhilarating ride as you strap on water skis and hold on tight, pulled by the grace of this magnificent vessel.

Immerse yourself in the past as you envision this Century Resorter in its original glory when it first rolled off the production line in 1968. Meticulous restoration work has been carried out, ensuring every inch of the boat receives the utmost attention. Its quintessential 1960s aesthetics feature a stunning wood hull, adorned with script logos for 'Century' and 'Resorter,' complemented by teal interior trim. A panel of chrome-ringed gauges, mounted behind the large steering wheel, adds to the allure.

Its original owners were a prominent family in Holland, Michigan, where the boat graced the waters of Lake Macatawa. Perhaps it ventured through the channel connecting Lake Macatawa to Lake Michigan, allowing its occupants to experience the vastness of the "big lake," as the locals fondly call it.

Powering this vessel is its original engine, a Ford Dearborn Marine Interceptor 289ci V8 paired with a Velvet Drive transmission. Both have been professionally rebuilt by CD's Engine Service and boast low hours of operation. Noteworthy mechanical additions include a marine alternator, carburetor, new bilge pumps (with an added aft bilge pump), and a bilge blower vent.

With only 21 wood hull Resorters built with the Ford 289 engine, this boat stands as a rare find. Among the 1968 model year Resorter 15s, it proudly claims the distinction of being the third one produced. Moreover, 1968 marked the final year of wooden hull production. The hull itself is crafted from an African Mahogany stem and keel, a departure from the traditional white oak. For your convenience, a Manning trailer accompanies the boat, facilitating its transportation with ease.

Wooden-hulled boats are increasingly sought-after for their aesthetic appeal, collectability, and the immersive sensory experiences they offer.
