Features & Technology
The Ri245 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. That hull shape displaces more water before you've added a single pound of ballast, and it gives you a noticeably better ride when the lake gets choppy. It also delivers up to 50% better fuel efficiency compared to other towboats in this class, which adds up fast over a full season on the water.
What really sets this boat apart is the RAMFILL Boosted Ballast System. You're working with 5,650 lbs of total ballast, and the system fills all of it in under 90 seconds. That's not a rounding error, that's a genuine game-changer for keeping a crew happy and in the water. The Quicksurf Pro System lets you dial in the wave shape for any rider, and the Silent Stinger wake plate diverts exhaust away from the surf zone without touching wave quality. The Predator Power Articulating Tower features a fixed bimini that raises and lowers at the touch of a button, staying parallel to the floor the whole way, and it has an HD camera built right into the tower so the driver always has a clear view of what's happening behind the boat.
The Revo SxS HD dash brings Navionics GPS mapping and Live Fuel Economy Monitoring into one clean interface. Surroundfire stereo fills the boat with sound whether you're surfing, cruising, or tied up at the sandbar. RGBW accent lighting runs throughout the entire boat, and the Baja Racing docking lights make early mornings and late evenings on the water easy to navigate.
Interior & Comfort
The interior on this one is well thought out. Castano Brown vinyl with Onyx Black accents and a Toffee Centurion Cut two-color floor gives the cockpit a warm, rich look that holds up in the sun. Cool touch upholstery with hex accents keeps things comfortable on hot Texas afternoons. Flip-up stadium seats on both port and starboard sides give riders flexible options depending on whether they want to watch the action or just relax. The HD sliding bench seat and bow filler cushion mean there's comfortable seating for everyone, and the limo lighting under the bench adds a nice touch after sunset.
This boat comes standard with the Icebreaker package, which includes a heater, heated driver's seat, and wind dam. That's a feature that matters more than people expect, especially for early spring and late fall days when the air is still cool. The integrated in-floor cooler keeps drinks and snacks within reach all day, the integrated walkway trash can keeps things tidy without any effort, and the magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm is exactly where you want it for keys, a wallet, or a phone. Wireless charging holders are positioned throughout the boat from the transom to the cockpit. The Cobra Racing driver's seat is the most comfortable seat in the segment, with multiple ways to sit depending on how long your day on the water runs.
