2026 Centurion Ri245 Base

2026 Centurion Ri245

The Ri245 Demands the Attention of Advanced Wave and Wake Sports Enthusiasts With a 24.5-Foot Machine That Blends Raw Performance With Premium Comfort.Delivering up to 5,650 pounds of ballast in a meticulously crafted vessel that seats up to 16, the Ri245 is equal parts powerhouse and luxury cruiser. With ballast distributed across seven optimized zones, this boat maintains a balanced, level ride—even when fully loaded and pulling a rider. Behind the wheel, drivers enjoy a clear, horizon-level view, while behind the boat, riders are rewarded with long, powerful, and clean waves shaped by that steady attitude. The new Captive Touch Side by Side High-Definition Dash System puts instant command at your fingertips. The available Predator Power Tower (PPT) elevates the experience with a fixed bimini for consistent shade, purpose-built racks for wakeboards or surfboards, and a new High Definition Digital POV camera.

Features may include:

• With its 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, the Opti-V hull displaces more water, before any extra weight is added, while preserving a great rough water ride.

• At each corner of the transom a flat triangle extends towards bow creating lift along the rear half of the boat for a level running attitude, front to back as well as side to side. Due to this balanced design, the Opti-V Hull enhances fuel economy and provides a much quieter ride than most boats delivering this type of power. With hook built into the rear edge of delta pad, the seated driver can see over the bow while pulling a rider without compromising the waves or wakes thanks to a level running attitude. The hull also deflects rollers, at the bow and transom, so big water can’t spoil your fun. It’s clear the Opti-V Hull delivers the best waves, wakes and ride - in all conditions.

• Our ballast isn’t just big—it’s smart. It’s distributed evenly from bow to stern, displacing weight across the entire running surface for a longer, cleaner wave and a level ride that keeps the bow low and the driver focused.

• The result? A better experience for everyone onboard—driver, rider and all. The Ri245 delivers with up to seven precisely positioned ballast zones that work together to move 5,650 pounds of water. And for 2026, that weight moves faster than ever thanks to Centurion’s standard Fast Mover Ballast System by SeaFlow, which cuts fill times by more than 68%. Ri Series boats take it even further, with 30-gallon-per-minute Fast Mover pumps on rear bags and RAMFILL Boosted. Pair all that with a 24.5-foot hull built to perform and room for 16, and you’ve got a wave that keeps the stoke going from first light to last ride.

• Sometimes function follows form. That’s the case of our incredibly fuel efficient Opt-V hull. Optimized with triangles built into the rear corners of the hull that stretch forward towards the bow, the Opti-V Hull creates lift and balance when underway reducing resistance and increasing fuel efficiency – more than 50% better than any other sports boat out there.

• Fuel efficiency translates directly into more time on the water and less expense for you. The hull design eliminates drag and creates a level running attitude for less resistance, so the engine simply doesn’t work as hard to push a Centurion through the water, whether it’s weighted to ride or not. You can monitor this amazing fuel efficiency on the Captive SXS HD Touch Vision Dash thanks to the Range of View (ROV) system that displays realtime fuel usage data. We love offering that advantage to you.
