At 150 hours and priced to move, this 2022 Ri230 gives you access to one of the most capable surf platforms ever built at a fraction of new-boat cost.
The Ri230 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which runs 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. That hull geometry displaces more water before you even add ballast weight, which translates directly to a cleaner, more powerful surf wave and a noticeably smoother ride when conditions get choppy. For a 23-foot boat, the wave this thing throws is genuinely impressive.
The Ramfill Boosted Ballast System is one of those things you notice immediately on your first session. It fills close to 5,400 lbs of ballast in under 90 seconds, which means less waiting around and more time actually surfing. Switching sides is quick, and the wave shape holds up whether you're running it for a beginner learning to drop the rope or a rider who wants a steep, powerful face to work with.
The Predator Power Tower is a standout feature on this boat. The fixed bimini raises and lowers at the touch of a button and stays parallel to the floor throughout its travel, so you're getting consistent shade coverage no matter where the sun is sitting. It's a well-engineered piece of kit, and it makes a real difference on long days out on the water.
The interior on this Ri230 is clean and well laid out, with gray vinyl throughout and tan flooring that gives the cockpit a warm, open feel. The Cobra Racing driver's seat is legitimately comfortable for a full day of driving, and the flow-through windshield keeps air moving for both the captain and front passengers. Flip-up transom seating means the people riding at the back of the boat aren't just standing around between sets. The integrated in-floor cooler keeps food and drinks cold without taking up cockpit space, and the integrated walkway trash can is one of those small details that makes a full day on the water a lot more pleasant to clean up after.
The magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm is a thoughtful touch, keeping phones, keys, and wallets secure and easy to find. RGBW accent lighting runs throughout the entire boat, so evening sessions or sunset cruises have a completely different vibe. At 150 hours, the interior is well broken in but still has a lot of life ahead of it.
A 2022 Ri230 with 150 hours is in the sweet spot for a pre-owned wake boat purchase: low enough hours that you're not inheriting someone else's wear, recent enough that the technology and hull design are still current, and priced meaningfully below what a new build costs. This is a serious surf boat at a value that's hard to argue with.
