Features & Technology
The Ri245 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. That geometry displaces a significant amount of water before you ever add ballast, which means the wave is already working in your favor before you fill a single bag. Add 5,650 lbs of ballast through the RAMFILL Boosted system and you're talking about a surf wave that's genuinely world-class in this size class. What I love about RAMFILL is the speed: the system fills close to 6,000 lbs in under 90 seconds, so you're not sitting around waiting to get in the water. The Quicksurf Pro System lets you dial in the wave shape, and the Silent Stinger wake plate manages exhaust without touching surf performance.
The PCM ZZ6 is the right engine for this boat. 6.2 liters, 465 ft/lbs of torque, and the PowerPull transmission give you smooth, confident power whether you're surfing, wakeboarding, or just cruising across the lake. It's also rated to perform at elevation up to 8,000 feet, which matters if you're spending time on mountain reservoirs. The Predator Power Articulating Tower is exclusive to the Ri series and genuinely impressive to use: four Linak actuators raise and lower the bimini at the press of a button, keeping it parallel to the floor for consistent shade no matter where the sun sits. Integrated board racks, hangers for wet gear, and downlighting round it out. Navionics GPS mapping and the Revo SxS HD dash keep the captain informed and in control.
This unit also comes with the Centurion Range of View camera system, which gives the driver a clear real-time view of the action behind the boat. For a family with kids progressing through different disciplines, that visibility is genuinely useful. Flip-up stadium seats on both port and starboard sides add flexible seating at the back of the boat, and bump cleats make docking in tight situations a lot more relaxed.
Interior & Comfort
The interior on this build is sharp. Castano and black vinyl with cool-touch base and hex accents gives the cockpit a clean, modern look that holds up in the Texas heat. Cool-touch upholstery is not a small thing when you're loading up a boat in August and the seats have been sitting in the sun. The two-color Centurion Cut flooring in black looks great and the Gator Step material is more durable and slip-resistant than what you'll find on most other boats. RGBW lighting runs throughout the entire boat, so evening sessions on the water look as good as the afternoon ones.
The Icebreaker package is standard on this unit, and it's one of those things that genuinely extends the boating season. A cabin heater, heated driver's seat, and wind dam mean early spring mornings and late fall weekends are actually comfortable rather than something to push through. The Roswell solid frame bimini on the Predator tower handles shade during peak summer hours. Wireless charging phone holders are positioned throughout the cockpit and transom, the integrated walkway trash can keeps things tidy, and the magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm is a genuinely thoughtful detail. The Cobra Racing driver's seat is the most comfortable I've sat in on any towboat, and the HD sliding bench seat gives passengers real flexibility in how they arrange themselves. The Quad REV-12 stereo setup delivers serious audio output on the water, where wind and wave noise are working against you.
Why This Boat?
The 2027 Ri245 hits a sweet spot that's hard to find: enough boat to carry a full family crew with serious ballast capability, but sized and powered in a way that stays manageable and efficient on the water. This particular build is configured thoughtfully, with the Icebreaker package, Quad REV-12, RGBW lighting, and stadium seating on both sides making it genuinely ready for everything from a full summer day session to a late-season weekend. It comes with Centurion's lifetime hull warranty and five-year coverage on the base, engine, and trailer, so you're protected from day one.
Perfect For
- Families who want a serious surf wave without sacrificing a comfortable, livable boat for a full day on the water
- Riders at any skill level, from a spouse getting comfortable on the board to teenagers pushing into advanced surfing and wakeboarding
- Lake days that start early in the morning and run into the evening, where audio, lighting, and comfort all matter as much as wave performance
