What’s New for 2027
The 2027 Ri245 takes customization to the next level with the all-new Maneuver Auto Tower by Roswell. This tower lowers and raises with the touch of a button and comes with its very own bimini. This bimini is like no other you’ve seen before. You can adjust the front and back hoops of the bimini to tailor it to your shade needs. This tower and bimini will turn heads on the water this summer.
While heads are turning ears will be burning as you cruise down the lake with the all-new Centurion DIRECTFIRE sound system by Roswell. You can choose between the duo or quad set up but either way, this sound system will rock the boat in the best way.
Customization doesn’t stop there. With three new gel coat colors in addition to your favorites, your Ri245 will stand out on the water. Cirrus Blue, Shelter Green and Saddle Brown are the newest colors in the lineup and are sure to add style to your Centurion.
The 2027 Ri245 is equipped with signature innovations from Centurion Boats to enhance your boating experience. Key features include:
• Opti-V Hull: The signature Centurion hull creates the World’s best waves and wakes with less ballast weight, while creating a smooth rough water ride.
• 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.
• Fuel Efficiency: Centurion boats are 50% more fuel-efficient than other water sports boats on the market.
• Ballast: Up to 5650 pounds of optional ballast across seven precisely placed locations. These ballast areas are now filled and drained with 13.5 to 30 gallon per minute SeaFlo Pumps in addition to RAMFILL.
Features and Options
The 2027 Ri245 offers a variety of customization options to make your boat truly your own:
• All Cool Comfort Scheme: The interior of your Ri245 just got cooler with the All Cool Comfort Scheme. Now, you have the option to select all upholstery areas to have Cool Comfort, the coolest (both temperature and style) vinyl on the market.
• Centurion Surge Thruster System (STS): With the STS you have the power to move the boat’s transom from side to side for easier docking, picking up a fallen rider and loading the boat on a trailer.
• Predator Power Tower (PPT): This powered optional tower has a fixed bimini to provide shade from the sun no matter what time of the day it is. The four Linak linear actuators work in sync, keeping the convertible bimini parallel to the floor when raising and lowering the tower. Also, you can tow a rider or trailer the PPT at any set height.
• Centurion Captive Touch Side-by-Side High-Definition Dash System: Provides thoughtful control and a sleek design. Two 14-inch screens mounted side by side for more viewing area and control.
