The Ri245 hits the sweet spot for advanced wave and wake sports enthusiasts with a 24.5’ powerhouse that excels in performance and comfort. Offering up to 5650 pounds of ballast in a luxuriously appointed vessel that accommodates up to 16 people, the Ri245 is both a performance powerhouse and a comfy ride. With ballast distributed in seven separate locations throughout the boat, the Ri245 rides level, even when fully loaded and towing a rider. Drivers will appreciate the horizon level view from their seat, while riders will be thrilled with the long, pushy waves created by the level attitude. The new Captive Touch Side by Side High-Definition Dash System enables instant control. The available Predator Power Tower (PPT) adds more refinement to make life better for water sports boaters with its fixed bimini to provide shade and an array of racks for specific equipment. Set the mood with your choice of exceptional sound systems including the all new SurroundFire Sound System by Roswell.

Make The Features Personal
We offer a long list of desirable options to enable you to customize your boat to match your needs. Here are a few popular choices.
The Ri Series takes performance a notch up and encases it in luxury. These flagship models offer our premium features without compromising exceptional waves, wake and ride. When you view a boat not just as a tow vehicle, but as a means to make lasting memories, you want it to be special. That’s when you know one of our Ri Series models is right for you. And you can customize it to suit your needs.
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 is distributed evenly throughout the boat, displacing weight along the entire running surface to create a longer wave and balanced running attitude, front to back, with virtually no bow rise to distract the driver. We believe this creates a superior experience for drivers, passengers and riders. The Ri245 comes with as many as seven precisely placed ballast locations that, when combined, create 5650-pounds of ballast. This 24.5’ performance machine can hold up to 16 people while pushing out the kind of wave that makes you want to go all day long.
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. We love offering that advantage to you.
We call our available RAMFILL² ballast system the “Baller.” It’s a nearly maintenance free system that offers 2700 pounds ballast capacity that fills in 90 seconds. Plastic is eliminated, as instead we have four stainless steel two-inch valves (two in two out). 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.
Our premium Predator Power Tower (PPT) is exclusive to the Ri Series. This sleek, elegant tower has a fixed bimini that raises and lowers with a button press parallel to the floor to provide shade from the sun no matter the time of day or angle of the light. Features include specific hangers for wet towels, life vests, ropes and downlighting for extra interior visibility at night. Grounded in four Linak linear actuators, rated at 2200 pounds each, they work in sync while keeping the convertible bimini parallel to the floor when raising and lowering the tower. The bimini has a convertible area easily unzipped to let in light when you want. A driver-accessible switch enables quick deployment. BombShell 2.0 racks, a fantastic convertible bimini and optional stereo systems mean this predator eats the competition for lunch.
