1962 Century Resorter 19
HISTORY
She was restored in 2002 by award winning restorer Matt Byrne in Illinois from a gray boat sitting in Iowa. He replaced 95% of the wood and stringers. She is a classic board and battan with 5200 on the seams. The engine was rebuilt is 2002. I bought her with approx. 150hrs. She has about 250 I am guessing. I bought her in 2018 and brought her to Lake Tahoe. She has been in the care of Sierra Boat Co. ever since then.
She has the sliding top, rear ladder, folding sun lounger, spot light, all masts, custom trailer.
I have done a lot to keep her in tip-top shape. In 2020 the Gray Marine 327 was removed and detailed. Wires and hoses replaced. Fuel Pump rebuilt. Gas tank removed and rebuilt and detailed as well as fuel/water separator installed. New prop shaft, prop, and shaft log installed with new cutlass bearing. Rudder & exhaust ports resealed. Transmission disassembled and serviced all new seals. New battery and fuse bus installed. There is a lot of other small stuff that Sierra Boat can provide records for.
Steering Wheel removed and sent to Quality Restorations and was REMOLDED as original. NOT REPAINTED. New chrome from Graves Plating on horn ring. NOS Lincoln medallion installed. This project was $3500 alone
TRAILER: The trailer is a custom built (2002) trailer with single axel and electric brakes (These work perfectly). The trailer was re-powder coated about 7 years ago.
That’s all the good stuff. There are a couple of things that need attention. The tachometer stopped working. She probably has a year or two before she needs a re-varnish.
She runs beautifully and is solid. Has never let us down in 5 years. She is stored at Sierra Boat Co. on Lake Tahoe.
