| Good boats, good fit and finish, and the ox66 motors are very reliable, but they are not very fuel efficent. I have a 21 Century with a 150 ox66, and again it as been so reliable, but I am passed ready for a 4 stroke, if I am going to cruise out to my spots at 31 mph, I am ready for something that gets almost double the mileage.

| I have a 2003 32 with 225 four strokes. I had a 1997 with 250 Ox and really liked it better for its handling. I love the current one and can't say enough good things about the 225 4 strokes. I average about 1.3 MPG at 31 knots and about 7 MPG at trolling speed.

| Century boats are very well built. I've had my little 18ftCC for about 3 years now and its been running great. I have noticed that they put nothing cheap into their boats. The nice deep V design allows the boat to cruise through many tough conditions. Its also got quality material which makes for a very comfortable trip. My opinion on the engine: one of the best They're great boats and I would definately recommend them

| the 32 is the best riding boat in its size range century makes..... if that makes sense. fit and finish is above average and i would say that value is second to none. I just saw the boat you are looking at listed in the hooked up newsletter. Hull is great, motors are reliable but inefficient. A repower may be viable in the future as it could possible give you close to twice the fuel mileage.

Century has come a long, long way.
Their mid 20s boats are some of the smoothest I've been on. They're heavy (and can plow through some stuff) but well powered so they're not too slow.
For the money, one of the best around.
It's your future

Had the 2900, loved the boat but hated the 225 OX66's due to the gas milage.

| I agree that those engines are bullet proof, but a four stroke would sure help the wallet during these gas prices.
