Centurion FS44 & FX44 Boats for Sale

The Centurion FS44 and FX44 represented the flagship level of Centurion’s Future Series, offering the ultimate in surf and wakeboard performance. Designed for riders who demanded power, size, and precision control, these 24-foot models built upon Centurion’s legendary Deep-V hull and introduced cutting-edge systems that set the standard for surf boats of the mid-2010s.

Introduction and Positioning
Introduced around the 2014 model year, the FS44 and FX44 were developed to push the limits of wave size and adjustability. The FS44 featured Centurion’s traditional bow design, while the FX44 used a pickle-fork front end for more bow seating and a modern look. Both shared the same proven running surface and technology, giving riders two layout options without sacrificing performance. These models targeted professional riders, large families, and anyone wanting the biggest, cleanest surf wave possible.

Hull Design and Surf Performance
Both boats rode on Centurion’s Modified Deep-V hull, providing 20 degrees of deadrise for unmatched wave displacement and smoothness in rough water. The hull design helped create massive surf waves with long pockets and exceptional push—ideal for advanced riders and those who wanted a true ocean-like feel behind the boat.

The RAMFILL ballast system gave the FS44 and FX44 a huge advantage over competitors, allowing the underfloor tanks to fill with thousands of pounds of water in under two minutes. Total ballast capacity exceeded 5,000 pounds when combined with additional plug-and-play bags. The QuickSurf system and CATS (Centurion Articulating Tracking System) fin let drivers instantly switch surf sides and adjust wave shape for each rider’s preference, making these boats among the most tunable surf platforms of their time.

Power and Performance
The FS44 and FX44 came equipped with PCM inboard engines ranging from 343 to 450 horsepower, with the PCM ZR409 and ZZ6 being common upgrades. These engines delivered excellent torque to move heavy ballast loads effortlessly. Centurion’s deep hull design ensured smooth tracking, steady pulls, and stable operation even in choppy conditions. Zero Off GPS speed control provided consistent speed and pull accuracy for surfing and wakeboarding sessions alike.

Interior and Features
Inside, both models offered premium layouts built around comfort and social space. The FS44’s traditional bow created a more enclosed, lounge-like front seating area, while the FX44’s pickle-fork design opened up extra room for passengers. Each boat featured wraparound seating for up to 16 people, deep storage compartments, and Centurion’s ProVision touchscreen control system for managing ballast, surf settings, and onboard systems. Options like Wet Sounds audio, custom flooring, and LED interior lighting gave these boats a luxury feel that matched their performance.

End of Production and Legacy
Production of the FS44 and FX44 ran until around 2018, when Centurion shifted to the Opti-V hull design used in the newer Ri and Fi series. Even after production ended, the FS44 and FX44 remained top picks on the used market for their unmatched surf potential, heavy-duty construction, and large crew capacity. These boats continue to attract buyers who want Centurion’s legendary wave quality and technology in a proven, full-size platform.
