It's very likely that it has a significant amount of wood rot in places that
will be a whole lot of work to repair. Unless there is something really
redeming about it you probably can find one used in decent condition for
less than you will invest in fixing an abandoned boat. Unless you consider
your labor as valueless and have a good source of cheap supplies.

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.
