With the new Ramfill Boosted, we’ve added high-output 30-gallon-per-minute SeaFlo pumps to each RAMFILL tank on the Ri245, cutting the already record-setting fill time in half, whether you are sitting still, moving at slow speeds, or en route to your destination.
The all-new walkthrough on the sunpad makes getting into the Ri265 simpler than ever. Walk across the entirety of the sunpad and step into the boat with ease.
New for 2026 is the 50th Anniversary branded cup holders integrated into the side panels. For 2026, the Ri265 takes that world class luxury and storage even further with a billet-framed observer storage area with an additional clamping wireless cell phone charger and two illuminated cubbies with lay-flat phone charging stations tucked into the rear corners of the transom.
At the helm, the 2026 Ri265 dash debuts standout upgrades led by the all-new Knob Ops Control System, an intuitive, dash-mounted interface that puts key functions right at your fingertips. Switch the surf side of the wave with a tap, adjust music volume and settings with a twist or bump, and take control of navigation lights and bilge pumps instantly.
To the left of the wheel, the new illuminated Warrior Valuables Locker offers the perfect spot for the captain to stash essentials like your keys, wallet, wedding ring. Anything you don’t want to slip away on the water.
Also new for 2026: three Cool Touch Vinyl interior color options that keep surfaces cooler while turning up the style—Too Red, Saddle Brown, and Midnight Blue. These fresh finishes not only make a statement but also help keep the interior comfortable, even during peak summer heat.
