I've been shopping boats since the boat show. I think i found a winner and I'm driving 3.5 hours to go check it out and hopefully buy it on Friday. It is a 2005 Centurion T5 Air Warrior. I cant find much info around about them and wanted to see if i can dig up info on what to look for when running through a pre purchase inspection. I know what to look for in general, but I'm wondering about anything that is specific to this model.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You should post over in the CenturionCrew forum, to get some better answers. Some of the members lurk here, but most stay there.

I believe that is a direct drive model. Not sure if you knew that.

Its a DD and it could have a vapor locking problem, a friend of mine had one and it constantly vapor locked. Finally took it back to the dealer, and they said put a vent in the engine cover. He laughed and said WTF??? Took a lawyer and a threat to sue, and the dealer finally broke down and took it back and gave him a new T-5. This dealer was Cope and Mcpheters, which is now out of business.

Thanks for the info. I did know it was a DD, I prefer it because my kids and I are 50/50 on skiing and wakeboarding. I'll post over at cen crew as well. Thanks again all.
