(August 3, 2026) Merced, CA – For more than 50 years, Centurion Boats has built the World’s Best Waves, Wakes and Ride. For 2027, that continues with the all-new RS245, the official towboat of the Centurion World Wake Surfing Championship and World Series of Wake Surfing.
The RS245 performs at the highest level of the sport while remaining the ideal choice for families who demand championship capability, everyday comfort and relentless innovation.
At 24.5 feet with room for up to 16 passengers, the RS245 delivers the perfect balance of world-class surf performance, technology, comfort and style. From the next-generation Opti-V Hull and Fast Mover Ballast System with RAMFILL Boosted to the revolutionary Stacked Dash System by Marivue, every detail has been engineered to elevate your experience on the water.
What’s New for the RS245
Behind the wheel, the Stacked Dash System by Marivue transforms the driving experience. Dual panoramic displays put your surf settings, stereo, mapping, ballast and cameras exactly where you want them. Available Sunny View 360 by Marivue provides a complete view around the boat, giving you added confidence while docking, maneuvering and navigating. This dash system comes with a third screen in the OB perfect for passengers who want to change music, look at mapping, and other key features of the Stacked Dash System.
The new Bow Lean Block comes standard in the RS245, adding a comfortable third forward-facing seat in the bow and wind block to help keep you warm while you are heading to your favorite first spot on the water. When it’s not in use, simply fold it down to reveal a GatorStep walkthrough. Seating flexibility continues with the Bench-to-Back Multi-Position Slide Seat by Protomet, which glides effortlessly into multiple positions before converting into a rear-facing backrest. No matter where you choose to sit, you’ll have one of the best seats in the house.
