Hello everyone! I just purchased a used 2003 Centurion Lightning and I have a few questions regarding this boat. I bought the boat from a dealership in Florida, and had it shipped to Wisconsin where I live. It didn't come with a owners manual, and I've found it impossible to find anything online.
- Did they make Centurion Lightnings in 2003? The boat has a Lightning decal on each side of the boat by the ski lockers, and the title says it's a 2003, but doesn't say what model it is. From what I've found out searching online is that they didn't introduce the Lightning until 2004.. Just a little confused over this..
- How many drain plugs are on the boat to drain the hull? I obviously see the one above the wake plate, but didn't know if they have another one in the middle or towards the bow.. (my old Mastercraft Tristar had a T handle plug in the middle of the boat)
- Where is the center ballast located? And how can I access it? How much does it hold?
- I haven't had it out yet, due to work, and bad weather this week, but are there any tricks to help start the boat or anything I should be doing when starting the boat? (I'm only used to starting my old MC w/ the 351w that's carbureted)
- Any suggestions on setting it up for surfing? The boat did come with fat sacs in each rear locker plumbed in. Also the dealership threw in a free Ronix wakesurf shaper..
- Any tips or tricks when unloading the boat from the trailer, or loading it back onto the trailer?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me answer these questions!
Tristan
