Well, Hello again. Below is the text of my very first post on the forum. After posting in the Century Boats forum, I realized this would likely only reach current Century owners, and I was hoping to reach the most forum members possible to see if anyone has ever had an experience with or information about this boat, even if not currently. Guess I'm not very good at forums, as well as not knowing very much about boats. I hope this is in a better place to post now, and is within the forum regulations. Better make that ranking NOVICE cadet!! Sorry if I'm still not doing this right:
(Original post) Hello; a new member of iboats. Have just about decided to purchase a used boat, looking for 20 - 26 ft. with some overnite capabilities for inland lakes. I have very little specific knowledge of boats and, so, am indebted to this forum for providing a lot of information to help with my decision. I have come across some nice older Century boats (late seventies to mid eighties) in the 4000-5000 series. I found some pretty good information on these, but just ran into something called a 5000 Sun Express and can't seem to find much info about it. Anyone have any experience/info about these? It seems like it might be a little better setup for overnite than the cuddies, but I've also gotten a slight impression that this might have been a "cheaper" model. Anyway, thanks for any information...and, again, thanks for being a very informative and helpful forum. KD
