Any Century owners, especially 3200 WA?

My father is looking at a 2006 Century 3200 WA with 90 hours for sale and is wondering what people who have had them think about them. Currently we have a 1990 Sea Ray Laguna 23 and are thinking it's time to move up. We looked at the Century, and it looks to be a very well made boat. We are wondering how they hold up over time and also how the ride is, and anything else anyone cares to share about them.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Not sure if this was the model year that I got on before but there are betters out there in my opinion and I am not saying a Contender.

The boats are very flimsy in my opinion, deck lids flex, hardtop extremely thin. I do not have too many thoughts about the cabin.

The gunnels are a little to high and the step down from the helm area is steep, the walk around is treacherous

My biggest turn off with the boat is that the generator in the boat is mounted all the way aft in the bilge and is very crammed in there. I can't remember if it had a sound shield around it either. Its really exposed.

Not sure of what the price tag is one it or the ride these are just things I noticed.
