Features & Technology
The Ri245 is built on Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. That geometry does two things: it displaces more water before you even touch the ballast system, which means you're starting with a bigger, more surfable wave right out of the gate, and it gives you a noticeably smoother ride when the water gets choppy. On a Texas lake in the afternoon, that second part matters more than people realize.
This boat is equipped with the RAMFILL Boosted ballast system, which fills or drains nearly 5,650 lbs of water in under 90 seconds. That's not a small detail. When you've got a crew of surfers who all want different wave shapes, fast transitions between riders keep the energy going instead of killing it. The Quicksurf Pro System lets you dial in the wave for each person, and the Silent Stinger wake plate manages exhaust without touching wave performance. The Predator Power Articulating Tower features a fixed bimini that raises and lowers at the press of a button, always staying parallel to the waterline for consistent shade, and it has a built-in HD camera so the driver always has a clear view of whoever's riding behind the boat.
The stern thruster on this unit is worth calling out specifically. Backing into a tight slip or holding position at a crowded dock is genuinely easier, and after a long day on the water, that kind of convenience is something you'll appreciate every single time. RGBW accent lighting throughout the boat means the fun doesn't have to stop at sunset, and the Navionics GPS mapping keeps you oriented on any lake you take her to.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, this Ri245 is finished in an all cool-touch upholstery package in Tan and Charcoal, which holds up to heat and sun and stays comfortable even on the hottest summer days. The two-color Centurion Cut flooring in Shark Fin looks sharp and gives you the grip and durability you want when people are moving around a wet boat. Flip-up stadium seats on both port and starboard give the crew flexible options depending on whether they want to watch the surfer, face each other, or just stretch out. The HD sliding bench seat adds another layer of versatility for larger groups.
The Icebreaker package comes standard on this boat, which includes a heater, a heated driver's seat, and a wind dam. That combination makes early-morning spring runs and late-season days genuinely comfortable rather than something you're just toughing out. The Cobra Racing driver's seat is the most comfortable in the segment, with multiple seating positions that hold up over a full day behind the wheel. Wireless charging holders are positioned throughout the cockpit and transom, there's a magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm for keys and cards, an integrated in-floor cooler for drinks and snacks, and a built-in walkway trash can that keeps the boat clean without anyone having to think about it. The Revo SxS HD dash puts everything the driver needs in one clean, readable display, and the Surroundfire stereo system fills the whole boat with sound.
Why This Boat?
This specific Ri245 comes configured with the features that actually get used every weekend: the stern thruster for easy docking, the Icebreaker package for shoulder-season comfort, the Sewlong FCT XXL bimini for serious shade coverage, and the Surroundfire audio system for a sound setup that can fill a 24-foot boat without straining. It's a thoughtfully built unit that doesn't leave you wishing you'd added something.
