70's Century Resorter / Coronado

Greetings,

Just wondering if any of you have skied / wakeboarded behind 1970's Century Coronado or Resorter?

I'm trying to find an inboard that I can ski / wakeboard / fish with AND take into rougher water in the ocean.

So far I'm leaning towards a late 80's Supra Sunsport / Marauder, etc, but early fiberglass Century's have caught my eye and based on the V-shape of their hull I figured it would likely throw a good wakeboarding wake and be suitable for rougher water.
Have a look here if you're interested...

Regardless, anything will be an improvement over my 16' Sidewinder and 115hp Merc! ;)

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

I like the looks of the Resorter out of the two.

Once I got a boat with a swimstep I will never go back to the ladder system. It is just way easier to deal with the boards and skis while on the swimstep at water level.

I have always wanted to see one up close. The hull shape looks like it would make a nice wake. The hardtop is pretty cool. I also like the Correct Craft San Juan.
