(August 13, 2025) Merced, CA—At Centurion Boats, we take a great amount of pride in our best-selling model, the Ri245. Now, that pride has reached a whole new level because not only is the Ri245 the top seller in our lineup, it’s also the best-selling 24-foot boat in the entire United States, and the third most sold boat overall in the Ski & Wake segment.
This accolade comes just after second quarter data for the Ski & Wake segment was announced and timed perfectly with the release of Centurion’s 2026 Model Year. The Ri245 is the perfect blend of luxury and power providing customers with top-of-the-line features and options while also providing the world’s best waves, wake, and ride.
The Centurion Ri245 delivers up to 5,650 pounds of ballast distributed meticulously throughout the boat guaranteeing the perfect ride every time. Even fully loaded with up to 16 passengers, the Ri245 maintains its smooth ride and legendary waves leaving no room to question why this boat is the most sold 24-foot boat in this segment.
The 2026 Ri245 takes this model to the next level. New for this year is the observer storage area, creating even more storage space for you and your fellow riders. Speaking of riders, the new QuickSurf Pro with Lenco Smart Rams is standard for Model Year 2026 making wave set up faster than ever. The list goes on with new features on this most sold boat: transom corner phone storage with lay flat charges, new cool touch vinyl colors, lit warrior valuables locker and so much more!
At Centurion Boats, we are dedicated to making lives better both on and off the water. That commitment is on full display every day at our factory in Merced, CA, where our team takes pride in perfecting each boat that comes down the line. It’s that pride and devotion that has turned building our best-selling model into a true passion.
