(August 12, 2024) Merced, CA – The 2025 Centurion Ri265 is designed for champions who seek continuous improvement, offering a massive surf wave with powerful push from face to curl. This yacht-certified wake surf boat not only draws a crowd but keeps everyone comfortable all day with its spacious seating and expansive shade from the optional Predator Power Tower. As the largest model in the Centurion lineup, the Ri265 is packed with new features for 2025. The boat now includes wireless clamping phone holders on each side panel without sacrificing cupholders. A completely redesigned helm features a passenger-side wireless phone charger, a lit billet aluminum glovebox, and dual Captive Side-by-Side Vision Touch screens for the driver. Surrounding this driver focused setup are heater vents and a new throttle console with an ergonomic armrest, leading to an RGBw-lit throttle and Centurion logo. The upgraded Predator Power Tower (PPT) now offers 18 color choices for the top section and integrates a 16-speaker SurroundFire Sound System by Roswell with color-matched tower speaker enclosures.
Built on the Opti-V Hull, the Centurion Ri265 delivers the world’s best waves, wakes, and ride. With up to 5850 pounds of ballast, combined with its 6400-pound dry weight and 92-gallon fuel capacity, this boat creates unbeatable wave conditions. QuickSurf Pro makes it easy to switch between surfing and wakeboarding with just a touch on the Captive screen at the dash. Paired with the Silent Stinger Wake Plate and QuickLaunch, Centurion’s ballast distribution minimizes bow rise, reduces engine noise, and offers 50% better fuel efficiency, all easily monitored at the dash. And if you need another reason to visit your local dealer, consider the Ri265’s Warrior Edition, which includes special Salute to Service options that support military and first responder charities. The Centurion Ri265 is ready to elevate your wake boating experience to new heights.
Elevated Design and Performance
The first thing you’ll notice about the Ri265 is its size—this beauty stretches 26.5 feet long, which means there’s plenty of room for everyone. Whether you’re planning a fun day out with a big group or just want to make sure you have all the space you need to relax, the 2025 Centurion Ri265 has you covered. It’s yacht certified, so no need to worry about crowding—everyone gets a comfy seat with loads of storage to keep your gear neat and easy to access.
Now, let’s talk about what makes this boat special: the performance. Even though it’s big, the Ri265 moves like a dream. Thanks to the powerful ZZ6 6.2L engine, you get 465 ft-lb of torque, which means this boat can easily handle anything you throw at it—whether that’s creating massive wakes for surfing or gliding with ease across the water.
The Ri265 is also packed with some of the most advanced tech out there. For starters, the Opti-V Hull gives you a super smooth ride, and the RAMFILL 2 “The Baller” system lets you fill and empty the ballast (that’s the water that helps shape your waves) while you’re on the go. And if you want to customize your wake, the QuickSurf Pro System makes it easy to tweak the waves just the way you like them.
Experience the Features of the Ri265
It’s not just about performance—Centurion has made sure the Ri265 is as luxurious as it is powerful. Inside, you’ll find deep, cushy seats that are perfect for kicking back and enjoying the ride. And if you love your tech, you’ll be thrilled with the Centurion Captive Touch Side-by-Side High-Definition Dash System, which puts all the controls at your fingertips in a super sleek setup. You have control of your front and rearview cameras, ballast displacement, and so much more! The dash system is intuitive and easy to use; the perfect screen set up for both experienced and novice boaters.
One of the coolest optional features? The Predator Power Tower (PPT), which isn’t just functional but adds a serious style boost to the boat. You can customize the look by adding your favorite color to the top of your PPT and your board racks, so your Ri265 is totally unique to you. Plus, with the available Wet Sounds SurroundFire Sound System by Roswell with color matched tower enclosures, your music sounds incredible, no matter where you are on the boat or if you’re riding a solid wave. The customization on this boat is endless.
Centurion didn’t miss a beat when it comes to convenience, either. The Ri265 includes four wireless clamping cell phone holders spread throughout the boat. So, whether you’re the captain or just along for the ride, your phones stays secure and charged. There’s also thoughtful storage everywhere you look, like hinged shocked lounge seating that gives you easy access to your gear. Riding out on a cold morning? The Ri265 is equipped with two snorkel heaters in the lounge and four perfectly placed heater vents on the driver’s dash.
The 2025 Centurion Ri265 is built with the Opti-V Hull, which features 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, allowing it to displace more water with less weight while maintaining a smooth ride, even in rough conditions. Equipped with the RAMFILL 2 “The Baller” system, this boat can fill 2900 pounds of ballast in just 90 seconds, adding to the incredible total of up to 5850 pounds of ballast strategically placed for the perfect wake.
Plus, with Centurion’s industry-leading fuel efficiency—over 50% better than any other water sports boat—you’ll spend more time on the water without breaking the bank at the fuel station. And when it comes to customizing your waves, the QuickSurf Pro System makes it effortless, giving you the ideal wave for surfing or wakeboarding every time.
The 2025 Centurion Ri265 delivers unmatched comfort, style, features and performance, making it the ultimate choice for anyone looking to take their wake sports adventures to the next level.
