2006 Century 2900 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 2900 feels bigger than her length, with wide walkarounds and a helm layout that keeps everything at your fingertips. The leaning post and forward seating are set up so the crew can stay comfortable on long runs, while high gunwales and deep freeboard keep everyone feeling secure when the seas get lumpy. There’s a surprising amount of dry storage tucked under seats and in the console, so gear, safety equipment, and tackle all have a proper home. Add in the convenient transom access and sturdy hardware throughout, and you’ve got a boat that feels purpose-built for serious days offshore without sacrificing comfort.

This 2900 Center Console is dialed in for the kind of mixed conditions you get along this stretch of coast, where you might run from sheltered back bays out to open blue water in a single day. The hull has the heft and deadrise to shoulder aside afternoon chop, yet still floats shallow enough to work nearshore structure and inlets. Long runs to wrecks, reefs, and canyon edges are supported by the generous fuel capacity and efficient four-stroke power. With her open layout and secure footing, she’s well suited to trolling, chunking, or bottom fishing, then turning around and playing family cruiser on the ride home.
