NEW BOATS
CENTURY 2400 INSHORE
Based on the success of its 2400 Inshore in 2007, Century Boat Company decided to offer it with an optional Yamaha F350, V-8 outboard as a boat/ motor combination that would give anglers the speed, performance, reliability and range necessary for charters, fishing tournaments or entertaining. Also optional are a tower installed at the factory that features a dual helm station and Yamaha Command Link, an information system that provides boat performance data to its users.
Storage features include a 13-cubic-foot dry storage box under the front casting deck with recesses for two five-gallon buckets. The port and starboard rod boxes are equipped with six-rod organizers per side. The lockers can easily hold 8-foot rods, and the starboard rod locker can be exchanged for an insulated fish/storage box. The leaning post houses a 25-gallon baitwell, as well as six-rod holders, tool storage and a tackle drawer. Forward of the console is a 72-quart removable cooler, which doubles as a seat. The rear deck features a 35-gallon live/releasewell, an insulated 44-gallon fishbox/cooler located in the port rear deck, and a nine-cubic-foot storage area accessible on the starboard side. There is also an enclosed portable head onboard. Helm features include a tinted windshield, stainless steel steering wheel, hydraulic steering and Yamaha gauges. The suggested retail price of the 2400 Inshore with optional F350 and dual-helm tower is $82,995. centur yboats.com
