2025 Ri265

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 Ri265 comes with as many as seven precisely placed ballast locations that, when combined, create 5850-pounds of ballast. This 26.5’ performance machine is Yacht certified 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.

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.
