Because the previous business was an unrelated entity, warranty liabilities from that owner do not transfer to the new company. However, we are committed to supporting Century owners wherever possible, and will do our best to assist with service and parts needs moving forward. Just let us know what you need and we will work hard for you at little or no cost to Century Boat owners.
We have tremendous respect for the restorers, collectors, and enthusiasts who have kept the Century legacy alive. As we rebuild operations, we are still assessing our staffing needs and service capabilities, and have not yet finalized how we will support legacy models.
