The family bought a Suzuki DF25A EFI 4-Stroke to have more power to accommodate their boating. Maybe has less than 10 hours on it.

The boat has been owned by a good family that has had this boat for the past 20 years, has enjoyed every moment of owning this boat, and is ready for someone else to have the same experience.

___________

Here is some background history on these highly renown classic wood boats. The Century Boat Company was founded in 1926 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by two brothers, James and William Welch, who excelled in building wooden plank hulls for speed. By 1937, the company offered 28 models of boats. It was contracted to build and deliver 3,600 vessels during World War II. It received the Army-Navy "E" Award for excellence in production material.

By 1950, the company had 343 authorized dealers and used the marketing slogan "The Thoroughbred of Boats." In the 1960s, Century introduced 45 ft (14 m) motor yachts and jet-powered boats; in 1967, the last wooden boat rolled out of the Manistee Facility in favor of fiberglass.
