This White and Cirrus Blue Ri245 is built to throw one of the biggest, most customizable surf waves available anywhere, and it arrives loaded with every comfort and convenience feature to make a full day on the water feel effortless.
The foundation of everything the Ri245 does on the water is the Opti-V 2.0 hull. With 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, it displaces more water before you ever add a drop of ballast, which means the wave starts from a better place and the ride in rough water stays controlled. Centurion also claims up to 50% better fuel efficiency compared to other towboats on that same hull, so those long summer days on the lake cost you less at the pump.
The RAMFILL Boosted ballast system is genuinely impressive. Nearly 5,650 lbs of ballast filling in under 90 seconds is not a small thing when you have a crew ready to surf. Plug-N-Play rear and transom ballast bags are included, and the Fast Mover pump system keeps transitions quick. The Quicksurf Pro System handles wave shaping, and the Silent Stinger wake plate diverts exhaust cleanly away from riders without touching the shape of the wave. What this all means in practice: you spend more time surfing and less time waiting around adjusting things.
The Predator Power Articulating Tower is exclusive to the Ri series and it is worth talking about. The bimini raises and lowers at the press of a button, staying parallel to the floor so shade coverage stays consistent no matter where the sun is sitting. Four Linak actuators rated at 2,200 lbs each move in sync, and the whole structure is solid. Skylon Spring Lock board racks are built in, and the tower integrates downlighting for visibility after dark. Navionics GPS mapping and the Revo SxS HD dash round out the helm, and the Centurion Range of View camera system gives the driver a live look at what is happening behind the boat.
The interior on this build comes together really well. Cool touch upholstery with hex accents over a tan and charcoal vinyl palette keeps things looking sharp without absorbing heat on a hot Texas afternoon. The 2-Color Centurion Cut flooring in gray ties it all together and holds up better than most alternatives on the market. Both port and starboard flip-up stadium seats are included, which opens up a lot of flexibility for how your crew positions themselves throughout the day. The HD sliding bench seat and limo lighting underneath it add a premium feel to the cockpit, and the Quad REV-12 stereo is going to be heard clearly over the water.
What I love about this boat from a livability standpoint is how much Centurion thought through the small stuff. There is an integrated in-floor cooler for drinks and snacks, a magnetic lit valuables locker at the helm for wallets and keys, wireless charging phone holders throughout the cockpit and transom, and an integrated walkway trash can that actually gets used. The Icebreaker package means early mornings and late-season days are handled: you get a heater, a heated driver's seat, and a wind dam. The Cobra Racing driver's seat is genuinely one of the most comfortable seats in any towboat. Bow arm rests, a bow filler cushion, and storage compartment friction mat inserts all show up as well. This is a boat your whole family can spend a full day on without anyone wanting to head in early.
The Ri245 sits in a sweet spot in the Centurion lineup: big enough to carry a full crew and throw a serious wave, but not so large that it feels unwieldy for a family day on the lake. This specific build adds the RGBW lighting package and a solid-frame Roswell bimini on top of an already comprehensive standard equipment list, and it comes backed by a lifetime limited warranty on the hull, deck, and stringer system plus a five-year engine warranty. That is a lot of confidence built into one boat.
Come out and spend some time on the water with this one. A demo will tell you everything you need to know about why this boat belongs on your lake.
