PERFECT RIDE CENTURION BOATS Choose your favorite Centurion style, size and price. We’ll provide the perfect ride every time. The numbers don’t lie. Words tell a story, but numbers can quantify it. And while we can shout all day long that Centurion Boats offers the best waves, wake and ride, it won’t hit home until you determine what that means for you. From model numbers, to degrees of deadrise, to ballast capacities and fill times, to fuel gallons per hour, to decibels of noise, we have the numbers to help you define your perfect ride. The numbers behind the engineer- ing of that ride make up the essential qualities that speak to you. There may be five numbers, or maybe just one defines your criteria for the perfect ride. What is your number? Whatever it is, Centurion Boats has it – in the 2019 Ri257, Ri237, Ri217, Fi25, Fi23 or Fi21 and they all add up to the perfect ride every time. 2
We like to throw numbers at you because our numbers tell a story. And it’s a good story. For instance, when we say 20 degrees of deadrise, we’re not just talking about engineering. We’re not just throw- ing out a number to be throwing out a number. We’re talking about the impact our design makes on your experience on the water. And it’s a uniquely Centurion design. The Centurion Opti-V hull has 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom—as much as double the degree of V as any other towboat. Just let that soak in for a minute—as much as double the de- gree of V as any other towboat. That 20 degrees makes 100 percent difference in rough water. It eliminates the shock of rough water for an amazingly smooth ride. It’s not like other towboats. In fact, it’s significantly different. That 20 de- grees of deadrise genuinely makes your ride smoother. Others may promise a smoother ride in rough water. With its 20-degree deadrise, the Centurion Opti-V hull delivers on that promise. That’s just the introduction to our story. 20˚DEADRISE OPTI-V HULL 5
The Centurion Opti-V hull, which is a Centurion exclusive design, displaces more water with less weight and creates a smooth rough-water ride thanks to the 20 degree of deadrise at the transom. Also at the transom, triangular pads on each corner of the running surface. This results in extraordinary side-to-side balance, which helps a wave form quickly on either side and creates a symmetrical wakeboard wake. There’s also less resis- tance on the running surface, which can contribute up to 50% better fuel economy than other towboats. Remarkable fuel economy is one thing, but an even more interesting facet of this design is how well it works for both surfing and boarding. It has proven this as Centurion models built on the Opti-v hull have served as official towboat for both the 2018 World Wake Surfing Championship and the 2018 IWWF World Wake Boarding Champion- ship. The IWWF (International World Wake Board Foundation) selected Centurion as their official towboat. A towboat that crosses disciplines for two different world championships is a towboat worth your attention. OPTI-V HULL 6
Filling ballast usually takes time—time away from actual boarding or surfing. Imagine you’re out on the lake and you have some friends waiting for you on the dock. In other boats, it takes time to empty your ballast, pick them up, then refill the ballast to their specifications so they get the right wakes. It might take 15 minutes. It might take half an hour. Every time you do this you lose play time while you wait for the ballast to fill. Now imagine your ballast filling in as little as 90 seconds. That’s right. A minute and a half. Not 10 or 15 minutes. A minute and a half. Every single time. How much play time does that buy you? We suspect a lot, but you can add up the numbers for yourself. In a Centurion equipped with RAMFILL, you can fill your ballast while you are underway with a rider in tow. Waves and wakes can be adjusted in- dependently mid-session. It’s really that simple. Transition from skiing to boarding to surfing in the time it takes for your riders to get in the water and get ready. If speed is your need, 90 seconds is a number worth noting. 90 SECONDS RAMFILL 8
When ballast is the tool for displacing weight and creating wakes, it just makes sense that more ballast options equals more wake options. Centurion offers the industry’s largest and best-placed ballast capacities. Depending on the model, you can get up to 5550 pounds of displace- ment. It’s a simple formula: more specif- ically placed ballast = better waves and wakes. With up to seven precisely-placed ballast locations, and as much as 5550 pounds of displacement, you have the flexibility to dial in the waves and wakes you want. Start with the subfloor ballast, add additional ballast as desired, and tweak to the perfect wake to suit your sport and your style. As we said, our numbers tell a good story. 5550 LBS BALLAST 11
Getting the right balance between avail- able ballast and interior space can be a design challenge. As it turns out, Centu- rion has solved this issue by offering the largest subfloor ballast capacity in the industry, with as much as 3050 pounds of sub-floor displacement. The key factor here is that you get 3050 pounds of displacement which won’t diminish your above-water storage areas. That keeps your interior space uncluttered and roomy enough for everyone. In some cases, 3050 pounds may be all the ballast you need. 3050 LBS SUB-FLOOR BALLAST 12
Is your head spinning yet? We hope not, because we have a lot more numbers to share. Let’s talk about ballast locations. Centurion boats offer as many as seven precisely-placed ballast locations. Each ballast is independently controlled at the dash. This ability to tweak and fine tune easily from the dash enables you to create pro-level waves and wakes that can be easily fine-tuned for any riding style. The proportional front-to-back ballast locations also allow the driver to level the running attitude of the boat for increased visibility and improved fuel efficiency. While that may sound complicated, the experience itself is easy, smooth and can be quickly mastered. We give you plenty of options to create your optimal waves and wakes.

When our engineers designed the Opti-V hull they didn’t have fuel efficiency in mind. They were focused on better waves and wakes, plus a smoother rough-water ride. They wanted to create a hull that worked equally well for surfing as it did for boarding. So they mixed the radical, 20-degree deadrise with triangular lifting pads at the rear corners of the hull to create balance. Then the reports started to come in. People were shocked and delighted at the fuel efficiency the new hull provided. Time and again we heard about amazing fuel efficiency. As it turns out, the design they created for more efficient wakes is more efficient at saving fuel as well. In many cases, users are ex- periencing up to 50% better fuel efficien- cy than they did with boats that aren’t built on the Opti-V hull. Just one more reason to take a close look at Centurion. 50% MORE FUEL EFFICIENCY 16
