Features & Technology
The Ri245 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. That design displaces serious water before you've added a single pound of ballast, and it's also what gives you up to 50% better fuel efficiency compared to other towboats. You're not sacrificing ride quality for the wave, either. This hull handles rough water better than most boats in its class.
The RAMFILL Boosted ballast system on this boat fills nearly 5,650 lbs of water in under 90 seconds. That's not a small number, and it means you spend your time surfing, not waiting. The Quicksurf Pro system lets you dial in your wave shape and switch sides without fuss, and the Silent Stinger wake plate manages exhaust without touching the surf wave. This setup gives you a wave that's genuinely surfable for beginners and advanced riders alike, and you can tune it for whoever's in the water. The stern thruster on this unit makes docking in crosswinds or tight marina situations noticeably easier, which anyone who's backed a 24-foot boat into a slip will appreciate.
The Predator Power Articulating Tower is one of the things that sets the Ri series apart. The bimini raises and lowers at the push of a button and stays parallel to the floor the whole way, so you get consistent shade no matter where the sun is sitting. The Centurion Range of View camera system gives the driver a real-time view of the action behind the boat, built right into the tower. Skylon Spring Lock board racks keep your boards secure overhead, and integrated hangers keep wet gear off the seats.
Interior & Comfort
Step inside and the first thing you notice is how well this boat is laid out for a full day with the family. The Cool Touch upholstery with hex accents in Mocha and Charcoal looks sharp and handles heat well on bright summer days. The 2-Color Centurion Cut flooring in Gray adds a custom feel underfoot, and the Gator Step material is more durable and less slippery than what you'll find on most competitors. Both port and starboard flip-up stadium seats are included on this unit, which opens up the cockpit and gives everyone more room to move around. The HD sliding bench seat and limo lighting underneath add to the overall feel of the interior.
The Icebreaker package comes standard on this boat, meaning you get a cabin heater, heated driver's seat, and wind dam. That's a feature that matters more than people expect. Early mornings in North Idaho and late-season days can be cold, and having heat on board is the difference between cutting the day short and staying out another two hours. The Cobra Racing driver's seat is genuinely comfortable for long days at the helm. The Revo SxS HD dash keeps everything organized and readable, with Navionics GPS mapping, live fuel economy monitoring, and a custom control panel with surf quick-set buttons built in. Wireless charging phone holders are positioned throughout the boat, there's a magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm, an integrated in-floor cooler, and an integrated walkway trash can. These are the details that make a long day on the water feel effortless rather than cluttered. The Quad REV-12 stereo setup delivers serious sound across the whole boat, and the RGBW accent lighting makes evening runs or late-day sessions on the water look as good as they feel.
Why This Boat?
This Ri245 hits a real sweet spot: enough boat to run a serious wave with a full crew, with a footprint and ballast system that won't leave you waiting around. It's configured thoughtfully, with the stern thruster, stadium seating, full lighting package, and the Icebreaker package all included, so you're not piecing together options after the fact. Centurion backs it with a lifetime limited warranty on the hull, deck, and stringer system, plus five years on the base warranty and engine.

- Anyone who wants a boat that's ready to go from cold spring mornings through late fall, thanks to the full Icebreaker package
