This allows for extra shade and protection from a shower, and riders can wakesurf or wakeboard from any position the tower is in.

Integrated board racks on the tower and Bimini hold plenty, along with a transom board locker. Hinged seating conceals Rhino-lined stowage. The seating is also customizable, thanks to the sliding rear bench and insertable backrests, as well as flip-up backrests on both sides of the wraparound lounge. The deep seating, well-padded Spradling cushions and Centurion\u2019s 21-degree deadrise \u00adOpti-V hull combine to ensure riding in comfort. Even the sun pad over the engine compartment features pop-up backrests.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Centurion Ri265 helm\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-3.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">New 14-inch side-by-side displays allow for maximum customization.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Garrett Cortese<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>At the helm, we found new 14-inch side-by-side displays and an all-new user interface for controlling the Ri265\u2019s systems. The displays are bright and easy to navigate. Thanks to the Ramfill system, most of the 5,850 pounds of available \u00adballast can be filled in 90 seconds. The helm also features a unit near the steering wheel for quick, easy audio control, a wireless phone-charging cradle, and Centurion\u2019s sport-shifter paddles for instant adjustments to the Stinger Wake Plate and the cruise-control speed. A detail we loved are the air vents built into the windshield.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From the intuitive menus and wake-riding presets to the layout and functionality to optional systems like a stern thruster and boarding ladder, you can order the Ri265 exactly how you want it for living your best life out on the water.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-4-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Centurion Ri265 cockpit\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-4.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The seating is customizable, thanks to the sliding rear bench.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Garrett Cortese<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Points<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>QuickLaunch and\u00a0 QuickSurf plates get the Ri265 on plane with minimal bow rise.<\/li>\n<li>Two trash cans and integrated cooler storage in the floor.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Two-tone stitching available on Warrior Edition Ri265 models.<\/li>\n<li>Air vents built into the windshield.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-specs.jpg?resize=800%2C539&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Centurion Ri265 performance data\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-specs.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-specs-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Ri265-specs-768x518.jpg 768w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Centurion Ri265 Certified Test Results<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Boating Magazine<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Tested<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<strong>Engine:<\/strong> PCM ZZ8S 6.2L\/665 ft.-lb. <\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Drive\/Prop: <\/strong>V-drive\/Acme 3077 17\u2033 x 15.5\u2033<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Gear Ratio: <\/strong>1.72:1 <strong>Fuel Load: <\/strong>92 gal. <strong>Crew Weight:<\/strong> 550 lb.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing and Specs<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$424,077.27 (as tested;
