1989 Century Ultra One Help???
 

I am close to buying a 1989 Century Ultra One 23' with a 454 and a Bravo One. The boat is in mint condition with 260 hours and a brand new aluminum Load Rite trailer. How much do you think this boat is worth? Is it a good boat? Any comments or things I should know before buying? I can't find much on the history of these boats. Thanks.

I already bought it but any history on these boats would be appreciated...........

it is hard to say without at least seeing some pictures...welcome to group.

Nice boat

Thanks f311fr1!
Come on guys I know this isn't a Cig, Fountain, etc. but somebody must have something to add?

Bow winds used to build them here in west michigan years ago and then sold the molds to Century. When they where called Bow winds, they made a ultra 1, 22 fot, an utlra II a 26 footer with twins and an ultra III, an 30 footer. 2 of my buddys had ultra 1's they where great boats,one had a 270 merc and the other had the 454 365 hp, that one was a little tall heavy. Good luck.

did you mean tail heavy or top heavy? i have the 365hp 454 version............

Tail heavy.

Looks like a fun ride!
Congrats.

Anyone else, can't find anything on these boats or anyone else who has or had one...............

Pictures of other ones?

Checkout craigslist.com in Grand Rapids Michigan, under the boat section, my buddys ols Ultra has been poping up for sale. There are pictures in the add.

Thanks, I found it on craigslist nice looking boat. What did Bowwinds and Century both use the same hull? I take it Bowwinds is out of business? I wonder what the speed different is between the 350 and 454? I'm anxious to get mine out on the water but the ice just melted a few days ago around here.
