This is a low-hour Ri245 loaded with upgrades that matter, including an upgraded PCM ZR7 7.4L engine, triple-layer GatorStep, and premium audio, all wrapped in a sharp black and champagne exterior that looks as good as it performs.
The Ri245 is built around Centurion's Opti-V 2.0 hull, which does something most people don't expect from a boat this size: it displaces serious water before you've even touched the ballast system. That means the wave is already working in your favor from the moment you leave the dock. Pair that with the Ramfill ballast system and you're filling nearly 5,650 lbs of water in under 90 seconds. The result is a wave that's long, clean, and powerful enough to satisfy an experienced surfer while still being approachable for someone who's just getting comfortable on the rope.
This particular boat comes with an upgraded PCM ZR7 7.4L engine, which gives you more displacement and more torque than the base configuration. That extra grunt matters when you're running full ballast with a full boat of people, especially at elevation here in Utah. You're not going to feel the boat working hard to pull out of the hole. It just goes. The power tower is the Predator Power Tower, which raises and lowers at the push of a button and keeps the whole setup looking clean whether you're on the water or trailering home.
The triple-layer GatorStep flooring is a meaningful upgrade over standard single-layer installs. It's softer underfoot, grips better when wet, and holds up to years of heavy use without looking worn. If you've spent time on boats with cheaper foam flooring, you'll notice the difference immediately.
The brown and tan vinyl paired with the driftwood flooring gives this Ri245 a warm, refined feel inside. It's a color combination that photographs well and holds up without showing every scuff and sunscreen smear. The seating layout on the Ri245 is one of the things I genuinely love about this model. There's real room to move, plenty of space for the family to spread out between sets, and the flip-up transom seating means people can hang off the back and socialize while someone's in the water. The heater is a feature that sounds minor until you're out on the lake in early June at 7am or pushing into September, and then it becomes something you're really glad is there.
The upgraded audio system on this boat is a noticeable step up from stock. Whether you're running music for a surfer behind the boat or just enjoying a cruise at the end of the day, the system delivers. Underwater transom lights add a nice touch for evening sessions, and the swim platform ladder makes getting back on the boat easy for everyone, including younger kids and anyone who's just put in a long surf session.
At 206 hours and in great condition, this Ri245 has been broken in without being worn out. The upgrades already on this boat, particularly the engine, audio, and GatorStep, would add significant cost on a new build, and here they're already done. This is a ready-to-go setup for a family that wants to get on the water this season without waiting on a factory order.
