2027 Centurion Ri230 Wake Boat
This Ri230 is built around one of the most capable surf platforms in a 23-foot package anywhere on the market, wrapped in a sharp Olive Flake and White exterior that looks as good tied to the dock as it does throwing a wave.

Features & Technology
The Ri230 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 water before you even start loading ballast, which translates to a bigger, cleaner wave with less work, and a ride that stays composed when the lake gets choppy. Fuel efficiency is up to 50% better compared to other towboats, so you're spending more time on the water and less time at the pump.
The RAMFILL Boosted ballast system is genuinely impressive. We're talking about filling close to 5,400 lbs of ballast in under 90 seconds. That kind of speed matters when you've got a crew of riders rotating through and nobody wants to sit around waiting for the boat to load up. The Quicksurf Pro System lets you dial the wave in precisely for each rider, whether that's a beginner working on getting up or a teenager who wants a steep, powerful face to throw tricks off. This unit also includes the bow ballast bag, which gives you even more shaping flexibility and pushes the wave output further.
The Predator Power Articulating Tower is standard on every Ri230, and it's one of the features that sets this platform apart. The bimini raises and lowers at the push of a button and stays parallel to the floor the whole way, so you're getting consistent shade regardless of where the sun is sitting. Four Linak actuators rated at 2,200 lbs each keep everything solid and smooth. The tower also has integrated hangers to keep gear off the seats and downlighting for visibility after dark. Skylon Spring Lock board racks keep your equipment secure and accessible.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the cool touch base upholstery with olive hex accents is a smart choice for a boat that's going to see full days in the Texas sun. It stays comfortable to the touch even when it's been sitting in direct heat, and the color combination with the tan and olive tones ties the whole interior together cleanly. The gray 2-Color Centurion Cut flooring adds grip and looks sharp underfoot. Seating is set up with a port-side flip-up stadium seat, an HD sliding bench, and the Cobra Racing driver's seat, which is genuinely the most comfortable place to spend a long day behind the wheel. The Revo SxS HD dash puts everything you need in front of the driver without clutter, and Navionics GPS mapping and live fuel economy monitoring are built right in.
The Icebreaker package comes standard on this unit, which means a cabin heater, heated driver's seat, and wind dam. For early mornings on the lake or late-season days when the air has a bite to it, that combination makes a real difference. The integrated walkway trash can and in-floor cooler are the kind of details that make a full day on the water feel effortless rather than improvised. Wireless charging phone holders are positioned throughout the boat, the magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm keeps keys and wallets secure, and RGBW accent lighting lets you set the mood once the sun goes down. The Roswell solid frame bimini and Quad REV-12 stereo round out a setup that's genuinely ready for a full day with the whole family.
