Look to see if there is a hull identification number on the right side of the transom. Maybe there will be hints to the MFG name or model that you can Google search.

The side windows are unique so maybe just look at a bunch of Google images of 1970s and 1980s ski boats to narrow it down.

Isn't that the manufacturers name on the seat backs? Doral?

Those seats look too new and modern for that boat. I don't think they are original. I'm pretty sure Doral only makes/made I/O boats.

Fuel line and pump look mighty sketchy!

Bears some resemblance to a Century Resorter to me.

It does look Century but all the Resorters I've seen have lifting strakes, and I don't see any here. Not the best pictures though...

I don't think it's a Century. Similar, but too many differences. No lifting strakes, bow's too rounded, different deck. Could be some sort of knock off. I read they sold the molds when they went bankrupt.

What is the Hull Identification Number(s)? That would be a start because the boat doesn't appear original (period appropriate) in many ways.

Maybe a Century Resorter is a good guess. Maybe a knockoff....

I will try get the ID number of the hull.

Strakes are ribs on the bottom of some hulls that help control/handling in the water. .

How long is that boat?

Agreed not a Century, but nice lines for sure! Actually it was their parent company at the time, Glasstream, that bankrupted. Then the whole focus veered in a different direction thru and beyond the Yamaha years.
Whoevers got the original MI molds oughta run those georgeous hull designs again.

FYI, anyone looking for classic Century parts try & A Marine (www.clasicboating.com), they've got the original embossed upholstery patterns from the old Manistee plant, and a whole lot more.

I agree that it's not a Century. Notice the Boat is in Denmark so it could be a European manufacturer. I don't think they use the same HIN system we do so asking for it will probably not give us a clue.

Not asking will help less.....

Was looking at the photos again, if it was a Century it would have have a squared rudder like this, not the rounded style pictured:
(Whatever it is, I like it!)

Definately not a Century, I have one and that's not it. None of the front decks ever looked like that. As for the rudder on the picture of the Mark I, that was what they called their speed rudder. It was standard on some models and optional on others.
