Features & Technology
The Ri245 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. What that means on the water is that the hull displaces more water before you even add ballast, so you're starting from a better place for wave shape and you're getting a noticeably smoother ride when conditions get choppy. The Ramfill ballast system can load nearly 5,650 pounds in under 90 seconds, so you're not sitting around waiting to get back on the water between sets. Surf left, surf right, adjust the shape, and go again fast.
The ZZ8 engine in this boat is worth talking about. It's the most powerful engine ever put into a production towboat, producing over 630 horsepower and 665 ft/lbs of torque. You'll feel that extra power in the hole shot, in the wave consistency at higher ballast loads, and in the ability to cruise comfortably at speeds most towboats can't touch. For a family that wants to cover some water between spots or just appreciates having power in reserve, this is the engine to have.
This unit comes equipped with the power tower, tower speakers, underwater transom lights, transom remote, and window tint. The underwater lights are a nice touch for evening sessions, and the transom remote lets whoever's managing the back of the boat keep control without shouting up to the helm.
Interior & Comfort
The white and blue interior on this boat is clean and sharp, and the condition reflects that the previous owner took care of it. The black Gator Step flooring is more durable and less slippery than standard marine flooring, which matters when you've got a crew of wet riders moving around the back of the boat all day. The fixed Bimini on the power tower provides consistent shade across the cockpit, which your family will appreciate on a full day out in July. The platform ladder and front boarding ladder make getting in and out of the water easy for everyone from the youngest rider to whoever's driving.
Inside the cockpit, the layout is designed to keep the whole group comfortable and connected. There's an integrated in-floor cooler for drinks and snacks, an integrated walkway trash can so the boat stays tidy, and wireless charging phone holders throughout. The helm includes a magnetic lit valuables locker to keep keys and wallets secure and easy to find. The sliding bench seat and flip-up transom seating give the group flexibility to spread out or gather at the back, and the flow-through windshield keeps air moving for the captain and front passengers on those hot Texas days.
