I've been searching for info on a Century Meridian 275. I believe
it's a 1987 model year. It's a twin engine mercruiser setup.

There is one sitting at my marina and it's been abandoned long enough
to have two small trees grow through the swim platform! The interior
is completely destroyed to the point there is also a tree growing from
the captins chair.

It looks horrible to the untrained eye. But I can get this boat
cleaned up in a couple of weeks and totally reconditioned. So I'm
trying to find out more about it. I've seen a couple for sale online
ranging from $8k to 19k.

The only thing I have to go on is the style is the same as the 1985 to
1987 models, except it's twin engine. I've found 1 1987 twin engine
model online and comparing visually to what's at the marina I believe
this is it.

I'm sure the storage fees are adding up and the owner probably isn't
paying since it's in the abandoned lot, so I have a feeling I can get
it for free with the help of the marina.

Any help would be appreciated. I've rebuilt motors to re-
reupholstered boats, toss in fiberglass repair and fabrication and a
boat like this is a piece of gold to me.

Yes - That's one of the 2 or 3 I found. I'm trying to get the full
specs on it. What was included, what was optional, etc.

I'm not sure why they went to a twin engine for 1 year and then went
right back to a single. I'm wondering if they had issues, or if it
was just a limited edition model. Maybe it wasn't the target
demographic.

I know they've since switch to specializing in just fishing boats. I
noticed the hull is a little different from a lot of the more well
known cruises, maybe it's not as efficient?

Anything anybody can tell me about this make and specifically this
model would be appreciated.

It looks like this one, but from what I can put together is more like
the one JR had listed.

Here are the details that closely match what I've seen at the marina.
This is the same boat JR posted.

The original Century boat company is long out of business. Yamaha bought
the rights to the name only and the "new" Centurys are not in any way
connected to the original. They are a new design, used primarily as a
platform for Yamaha engine sales.

I had a 1982 or '84 (can't remember) Century 7000 Express that is similar
to the one you are looking at. It was single engined, underpowered and
heavy but overall a decent boat considering it's age. Check for wood rot in
the stringers, especially some of the places that are hard to get to. Mine
had a significant amount that had to be repaired.

Even with the single 350 engine access to the engine and components required
the flexible body of an Olympic gymnast. I can't even imagine trying to
work on twins.
