As part of Centurion’s flagship Ri Series, the Ri230 is the perfect size at 23 feet, designed for enthusiasts at every level—from seasoned professionals to those just starting out.

Features and Options
The Ri230 is packed with advanced features and provides you with all of the tools necessary for a seamless day on the water. These include the Range of View (ROV) system, allowing drivers to see forward, behind, and monitor real-time fuel usage data. Four strategically placed wireless clamping phone chargers, limo lighting beneath the three-position slide seat, the new Lit throttle, and external plug-in access for battery charging are just a few examples of Centurion’s dedication to customer convenience.
Although this is the smallest of the Ri series, the Ri230 is jam packed with options that make it larger than life. The optional lit Centurion badge on both the port and starboard sides of the vessel is sleek and bold and will light up the Ri230. Opt for a Warrior Edition Ri230 to take customization and features to competitive levels. From the Predator Power Tower (PPT) to gel coat schemes to stitching patterns and everything in between, you can really make the Ri230 your own, while conquering wake sports.
Experience the Ri230
• Fuel Efficiency for Longer Days on the Water: 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.
• Ballast: The Ri230 comes with as many as seven precisely placed ballast locations that, when combined, create 5400-pounds of displacement.
• The Opti-V Hull: 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.
• Ramfill²: We call our available RAMFILL2 ballast system the “Baller.” It’s a nearly maintenance free system that offers 2500-plus pounds ballast capacity that fills in 90 seconds.
• Predator Power Tower: 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.
