I’m thinking it is a old school centurion. Any thoughts?

Spectra '20 or a splash of it. Got a better pick of the nose? That would help a little, as well as the HIN on the right upper rear of the transom.

Taking another look, almost positive it is a Spectra. If it is missing the HIN on the upper rear transom, it would be an early (71-73) build and very desirable, laid up thick like tanks!

Is it for sale? Looks like it was rigged as a v-drive, at least the trailer looks like a v-drive trailer.

No it’s not a spectra, on this the back rounds to the transom, on the spectra, the back doesn’t.

Looks like a canyon. Basically a Spectra splash. If you look close at the deck at the transom it doesn’t have the flat like a Spectra does but rather a rolled edge on the top.

The canyon is the same thing as a centurion.

I don't know looks pretty similar to me :)

I see what you are saying however, it looks like the transom is definitely different.

See the difference? The bottom one is what I think is a centurion, the top one is the spectra.

Looks like my old 21’ jet daycruiser. It was a “California Fiberworks” on the pinkslip, but buried under the gel you could see it said continental

Sure looks like my stern, 1986 Silver Wing (AKA Continental) from Speed & Marine ( Lembke). Mine was one of the last rigged by them as they were killed in a accident going to a race in Nevada.

Continental/Silverwing depending on the manufacture year.

That's a clean Silverwing. Love the colors.

I had an old Charger day cruiser once that had “Custom Jet” on the pink. As it turns out, there was a guy that bought some hulls directly from Charger then rigged and sold them as Custom Jets. Might have been the same scenario as yours.

I had a Charger as well, I must have seen at least a dozen other boats like it with other name tags.

Its a Centurion. A DiMarco has the same tail but the dash will be moved forward some (like 11") for a larger cocpit area. From that pic the steering wheel is pretty far back.
