Centurion Boats has been awarded a patent for reimagining towboat control with the Side by Side High Definition (SxS HD) Touch Vision dash system in the Ri Series. This ambitious design has improved driver control of World Championship Centurion boats as well as the look of the dash. The SxS HD Touch Vision consists of two high definition screens that team to display related content when needed or show two separate sets of information for the ultimate in multi-tasking on the water. Visit your local Centurion Boats Dealer to experience the amazing function of ambitious design realized with the SxS HD Touch Vision dash system.
Both of the 7.5″ high definition side by side screens shine with vibrance and clarity even in direct sun. These screens are perfectly angled in the dash to allow the driver maximum visibility of the SxS HD Touch Vision System and the water ahead. The SxS HD Touch Vision System can be navigated with the eight intuitive push buttons surrounding the screens or by touching the screens.
When asked about the intuitive and ambitious design of the SxS HD, Paul Singer, President of Centurion & Supreme Boats, had this to say: “This level of relentless innovation can only come from an engineering team who lives the towboating lifestyle.” Singer explained, “It’s one thing to sit in an office generating models and simulations. It’s quite another to use Centurion boats with your family on a regular basis to spur development. Our team lives it and that dedication results in patented innovations like the Side by Side HD Touch Vision.”
The functions of the SxS HD screens and surrounding eight buttons are described below.

Upon start of the engine, the home screen appears. The home screen provides an aesthetically pleasing all-inclusive display of the general operations of the boat. On this screen you can easily find information regarding fuel level, speed, RPM, water temperature and depth, and exclusive Quicksurf and Centurion Articulating Tracking System (CATs), among other things. Press any button and the SxS HD home display flies to the right or left display and opens the new screen. This way you never lose sight of general or specific boat system information.
GPS

Mark an isolated cove, a great riding spot, gas locations, and more in the GPS feature.
