1985 Century Coronado Cardel

This 1985 Century Coronado Cardel is a 21-foot fiberglass cruiser built around a distinctive sliding hardtop—a factory feature with a hard frame and canvas covering that retracts to open or close roughly half the cockpit. The boat's V-drive layout and sporty proportions define its classic design, complemented by a U-shaped seating arrangement throughout the cockpit.

Power comes from a new 7.4-liter big-block gasoline engine with fewer than 50 hours of running time, paired with the original V-drive. The boat sits on a trailer fitted with a new tongue and surge brake actuator. Recent maintenance includes new teak decking installed on the bow and stern, and the rudder was replaced two years ago. Interior updates span the last several years: stringers, flooring, and carpet were replaced roughly three years ago, and the original refrigerator remains functional. A Kenwood stereo system with amplifier and speakers completes the cabin.

The boat's service history reflects careful freshwater use on Lake Arrowhead for most of its life, with periodic saltwater outings in Newport Harbor that included proper rinsing and flushing protocols.
