Features & Technology
The Ri257 platform was built around Centurion's RAMFILL ballast system, which means the boat fills fast and drains fast so you spend more time surfing and less time waiting around. The hull is designed to throw a serious wave on both sides, and at 25.5 feet you have enough boat to run heavy ballast without sacrificing ride quality getting to the cove. The PCM H6 pushing 450 horsepower gives you the torque to pull that weight confidently and get riders up cleanly every time.
The underwater transom lights are a nice touch for evening sessions, and the front boarding ladder makes getting back on the boat quick and easy for swimmers and riders of any age. These are the kinds of details that add up over a full day on the water.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the mocha and black vinyl holds up well and gives the cabin a warm, clean look that pairs nicely with the brown flooring. The layout on the Ri257 is genuinely family-friendly, with plenty of seating to keep everyone comfortable whether they're waiting for their turn on the wave or just enjoying the ride. The onboard heater is something you'll appreciate more than you expect, whether it's an early morning start in June or pushing the season into fall. It's one of those features that makes the boat usable on days when you'd otherwise be packing up early.
Why This Boat?
At 608 hours, this Ri257 is well into its life but still has plenty left to give, and the 450 HP PCM H6 is a proven, durable powerplant. For a family looking to get into a serious surf boat at a price point well below new, this is a smart way to do it without giving up the performance that makes the Centurion name mean something.
Perfect For
- Families ready to upgrade to a full-size surf boat without the new-boat price tag
- Riders who want a proven Centurion hull with real wave-shaping capability
- Anyone looking to extend the season with a heated cabin on a capable platform
