This is a clean, low-hour Ri245 with the powerful PCM ZR7 under the hood, a stern thruster for effortless docking, and the kind of wave-shaping capability that makes every session on the water worth the drive.
The Ri245 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, and what that means on the water is a bigger, more consistent surf wave without burning through fuel to get there. The 20-degree deadrise at the transom displaces water before you even touch the ballast system, so you're starting from a better place than most boats in this class. Add the Ramfill ballast system and you're loading and draining close to 6,000 pounds in seconds. That's not a small thing when you've got a crew ready to rotate and you don't want to spend half the session waiting on the ballast to catch up.
The PCM ZR7 is an incredible upgraded engine, and it performs reliably at elevation, which matters a lot on high elevation lakes. It pulls riders cleanly, cruises quietly, and doesn't leave you chasing power. The stern thruster on this unit is a feature I'd personally want on any boat I'm docking in a crowded marina or a tight slip. It takes a genuinely stressful part of the day and makes it easy. The underwater transom lights are a nice touch too, great for evening sessions and they look sharp when you're anchored up.
At 231 hours, this Ri245 is well into its stride but still has a lot of life ahead. The Ri series is built to last, and a boat like this, properly maintained, is going to keep throwing a world-class wave for years to come.
The grey and white vinyl interior keeps things clean and classic, and it holds up well in the sun over time. The Ri245's layout is designed with a full day on the water in mind. There's real seating room for a family, the helm is organized and intuitive, and the flow-through windshield keeps air moving for both the driver and front passengers. The in-floor cooler handles snacks and drinks without taking up cockpit space, and the integrated trash can is one of those small details that sounds minor until you've spent a day on a boat without one.
The flip-up transom seating gives you a comfortable place to hang out at the back of the boat between sets, which the kids will claim immediately. The RGBW accent lighting throughout the boat makes late afternoon and evening time on the water feel like an event. This is a boat the whole family is going to want to be on, not just the riders.
A 2021 Ri245 at 231 hours is a genuinely smart buy. You're getting the Opti-V hull, Ramfill ballast, and Centurion's best-in-series wave capability at a price well below new, with enough hours left to get years of serious use out of it. The stern thruster alone is an upgrade worth seeking out, and the underwater lights and power tower round out a well-equipped package.
