Features & Technology
The Ri245 is built on Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. What that means on the water is a hull that displaces more water before you add a single pound of ballast, which translates to a bigger, more powerful surf wave with less effort — and a noticeably smoother ride when the afternoon chop kicks up. Centurion claims up to 50% better fuel efficiency compared to other towboats with this hull, and in a boat you're running all day, that adds up fast.
The RAMFILL Boosted ballast system is genuinely impressive. Nearly 5,650 lbs of ballast filling in under 90 seconds means you're not sitting around waiting between sets — you dial in your wave and get back to surfing. The Quicksurf Pro system handles wave shaping, and the Silent Stinger wake plate diverts exhaust away from riders without touching the wave shape. This setup gives you a wave that's big, clean, and endlessly adjustable, whether you're pulling a beginner or someone who surfs competitively.
The Predator Power Articulating Tower is one of the things that really sets the Ri series apart. Four Linak actuators rated at 2,200 lbs each raise and lower the bimini at the press of a button, keeping it parallel to the floor the whole way so you get consistent shade regardless of where the sun is sitting. The tower also integrates an HD digital camera that feeds a live view of the action behind the boat directly to the driver — no more craning your neck or relying on a spotter to tell you what's happening behind the boat. The Revo SxS HD dash ties it all together with Navionics GPS mapping, live fuel economy monitoring, and surf controls all in one clean interface.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, this Ri245 is finished in all cool-touch vinyl in Saddle Brown and Black, which stays comfortable even on the hottest Texas summer days — a detail that matters more than people realize when you're spending eight hours on the water. The 2-Color Centurion Cut flooring looks sharp and the Gator Step material is more durable and less slippery than what you'll find in most competing boats. Flip-up stadium seats on both port and starboard sides give everyone more ways to sit comfortably, and the HD sliding bench seat keeps the rear seating flexible depending on how many people you have on board.
The Icebreaker package comes standard on this unit, which includes a heater, a heated driver's seat, and a wind dam — a combination that makes early spring mornings and late-season days genuinely comfortable rather than something to push through. The Sewlong FCT XXL bimini covers a serious amount of real estate when you want shade. There's an integrated in-floor cooler for drinks and snacks, a magnetic valuables locker at the helm for wallets and keys, an integrated walkway trash can, and wireless charging phone holders positioned throughout the boat. The Surroundfire stereo system rounds out the package, and with RGBW lighting throughout, this boat looks just as good after dark as it does in the afternoon sun.
Why This Boat?
This specific Ri245 is a turn-key setup — the Surroundfire audio, RGBW lighting, Icebreaker package, flip-up stadium seats on both sides, and the XXL bimini are all already on board, which means you're not piecing together a wish list after the fact. The Brilliant Purple and Black exterior with the Slice graphic is a combination that photographs beautifully and stands out at every marina. And it comes backed by a lifetime limited warranty on the hull and deck, a five-year base warranty, and a five-year engine warranty — so your investment is protected from day one.

- Riders looking for a boat that performs equally well for beginners and advanced surfers
