1983 century CTS complete restoration

Jeff, Beautiful restoration. Looks like all that is left is the interior. I have the same boat ('85) that I am currently pulling all the foam out of for stringer replacement. Quick question, my stringer (at engine mounts ) have been carved out about an inch. I noticed in your pics that your stringers at engine mounts were equal in height with the rest of the stringer. Did you have to cut down the stringer for proper engine install?
I hope my restore turns out as great as yours!

Yes you have to notch the front and back motor mounts out. The trans. Won't line up w/ the prop shaft if you don't.

Thank you! I really love these boats and there aren't very many left! Post pics of your progress!

I know this thread is about a year old, but I just had to register to say Im glad I am not the only person that still has one of these boats. I just finished a partial stringer replacement and am putting the 454 back in.
