This 1966 Century Fibersport 17-foot named Classic Plastic is owned by Jim and Sharon West (Columbia Williamette Chapter). When I restored the boat I decided I wanted to create the model Century did not offer. So she was given a black hull with a copper colored bottom, Avodire blond decks that Century did in the 50’s, new interior along with rechroming the hardware. The original Graymarine 327 was taken out and replaced with a 390 Interceptor. We enjoy using our Century and yes she is still pulling skiers and tubes on the water.
