2024 Centurion Ri 230

PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE IN A SMALL PACKAGE

The smallest of our Ri series, the Ri230 combines the depth of the Ri series with the aggressive, head-turning style of our Fi on an Opti-V running surface to deliver pro-quality wakes and waves.

EXPERIENCE

Pure performance on the outside, luxury on the inside. The Ri230 isn’t just pulling professionals to their personal bests at the World Wake Surfing Championship and the IWWF World Wakeboarding Championships. As pulse-quickening as riding behind it can be, on the inside it’s clear this boat was designed by discriminating wake boaters who want the best of both worlds.

OPTI-V HULL

With its 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, the Opti-V hull displaces more water, with less weight, while preserving a great rough water ride. Due to its efficiency, the Opti-V Hull enhances fuel economy and provides a much quieter ride than most boats delivering this type of power. With hook at the transom that helps it push out long, smooth waves and wakes, this hull offers a level riding surface, even in rough water. The seated driver can see over the bow seats while pulling a rider without compromising the waves or wakes thanks to a level running attitude. The hull also deflects rollers so rough water can’t spoil your fun. It’s clear the Opti-V Hull delivers the best waves, wakes and ride - in all conditions.

BALLAST

The Ri230 comes with as many as seven precisely placed ballast locations that, when combined, create 5400-pounds of ballast. But large ballast capacity isn’t the complete story. We do ballast a little differently by distributing it evenly throughout the boat. This even distribution displaces weight the entire running surface of this 23-foot performance machine, resulting in a longer wave and a balanced running attitude, front to back, with virtually no bow rise to distract the driver. This is the kind of thing we believe makes a huge difference in your experience.

FUEL EFFICIENCY

We love the fact that Centurion offers more than 50% better fuel efficiency than any other water sports boat out there. After all, better fuel efficiency means more time on the water and a less expensive ride for you. You don’t have to take our word for it – the Ri230 offers real time trip and fuel consumption data – a first for performance surf boats. How can we be so much more fuel efficient? It’s the design. Centurion’s Opti-V may be a modified deep-v hull designed to maximize displacement, but the running surface has a lot of lift built into it. This eliminates drag and creates balance for less resistance, meaning the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to push a Centurion through the water whether it is weighted to ride or set-up for a cruise.

RAMFILL²

We have a nickname for the available RAMFILL² ballast system. We call it the “Baller.” It’s a nearly maintenance free system that offers 2500 pounds – plus of ballast capacity that fills in 90 seconds. With its four stainless steel two-inch valves (two in two out) bolted through to the flanges, anything plastic is eliminated. The large sub-floor tanks extend from the helm to the transom on each side of the lounge. This just adds to the well-distributed ballast placement and helps create longer waves with consistent push from the face to the curl crash. Baller, indeed.

DROPZONE TOWER

The aggressive DropZone Auto Tower folds up quickly and smoothly at the push of a button. Custom made for Centurion by Roswell the DropZone comes standard on the Ri230. The DropZone tower folds down, thanks to its two electric linear actuators, in just 14 seconds and opens back up in a mere 17 seconds, insuring you waste no prep time before you ride. The DropZone has built-in Bluetooth capabilities, offers both regular and goofy side tow points and Centurion-branded hangers in the center that are ideal for organizing ropes or drying vests and towels. Optional Centurion exclusive BombShell 2.0 Strapless Swivel Racks have an adjustable clamping shell design padded in R-Flex Suspension Technology to cushion a secured board up to 23 inches wide.

The smallest of our Ri series, at 23 feet, the Ri230 combines the depth of the Ri series with the aggressive, head-turning style of our Fi on an Opti-V running surface to deliver pro-quality wakes and waves. Seating capacity accommodates 14 people and offers as much as 5400 pounds of evenly distributed ballast. The Centurion Opti-V hull includes hook underneath that gives the Ri230 the most efficient running surface in its class and leads to exceptional fuel efficiency, even in rough water. The DropZone tower has built-in Bluetooth capability, comes standard with the Ri series and can be customized with integrated sound options. With its customizable waves, the Ri230 demonstrates professional versatility that has made it the official towboat of the World Wake Surfing Championship as well as the IWWF Wakeboard World Championships. For everyday users that simply means it’s got you covered for both wakeboarding and wake surfing, no matter if you’re a beginner or aspiring competitor. The Ri230 is 23 feet long, has a beam of 102 inches and a 36-inch draft. It’s a small boat, but delivers the best waves in its class.

FEATURES

Our Ri Series takes the performance we’re known for and wraps it in a luxury package. These models are suitable for both the one-upmanship competitiveness of professionals as well as the relaxed and comfy casualness of weekenders and beginning wake sports enthusiasts.

OVERVIEW

The Ri230 is clearly made for those with a competitive streak who want a luxury ride. Inside you might have sensory overload as your eyes take in all the special appointments. The new Ri Series accent stitching is available in seven different colors, empowering you to customize the look of your boat. Made by GoreTex for extreme strength and longevity, it’s one of those extra touches that define Centurion. Functionality is as much a priority as comfort in the Ri230 and that shows with the new Walkthrough Trash Shoot with Receptacle that is easily accessible in the observer storage area. Another practical touch users will appreciate is the new, easy to use Battery Management System with PDM Reset Panel – located in the glovebox alongside one of three Wireless Lay-flat Phone chargers in the Ris.

TOUCH REVO HD

All our Centurion 2024 Ri models have the Revo Side by Side 12” x 12” Touch Vision HD Dash, which has graphical control over nearly every boat system. You could call it the brains of the boat. It offers an Inspection Mode to toggle-off Auto Drain for ease of inspection at Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) checkpoints. It can easily control the optional QuickSurf Pro, as many as seven independent ballast areas including RAMFILL², all lighting functionality, including optional RGB control, Wet Sounds Stereo volume control and even GPS mapping. The right screen display changes with these menu options, while the left display remains constant with instant access to ZeroOff speed control, engine RPM, the ROV’s bow and stern cameras plus real time trip and fuel data.

RANGE OF VIEW

The left side of the Ri Series standard Revo Dash is occupied by Centurion’s Range of View (ROV) System. This 12-inch Revo touch screen lets you toggle between the bow and stern camera while overlaying real-time fuel usage data. This useful information is offered exclusively through the Centurion ROV system and won’t be found on other boats. With the bow and stern cameras, drivers can see clearly at water level in front of the bow as well as behind the boat when backing up. This signature Centurion functionality gives the driver a range of views without forcing them to change seats or stand up, adding a level of safety not previously seen in water sports tow boats.

ENGINE

Inside the Ri230 is a PCM engine that is 100% freshwater cooled. This means easy winterization and longevity for the owner. The ZZ5 5.3L GM engine yanks riders up with 400 lb-ft of torque thanks to Centurion’s PowerPull System that combines a specially matched gear reduction with a 4-blade 17” x 15.5” prop. The ZZ5 engine is another example of a Centurion Ri230 system that is a revolution innovated for wake surfing.

You truly can make this boat your own.

Practical, but pretty.
