For 2025, Centurion has taken that approach a step further. The popular Fe line is now available in three sizes with a plethora of options. Introduced for 2025 is the Nv line, featuring the Nv213 and Nv233. The all-new Nv models have a bold new look, killer \u00adperformance and a more \u00adpalatable price for many.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"wxuzj5efbz\" src=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.dragonforms.com\/wxuzj5efbz\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"width:100%;height:165px;border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-1-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image disable-lazyload\" alt=\"Centurion Nv233 running\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-1.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The Nv233 a sleek-looking boat, thanks to a lower profile and stance in the water compared to the Fe and Ri lines.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Garrett Cortese<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>I was able to test the Nv233, which measures 23 feet, 3 inches and holds up to 14 people. At first glance, the Nv233 looks unique because it is so different from anything else in the Centurion lineup. The hullsides feature angular faceted designs, giving the Nv233 an \u00adaggressive yet clean look. It also sits lower in the water compared with its Fe siblings, adding to its sleek, aggressive stance. The large Centurion badging toward the transom further sets it apart as something different and new. Watersports enthusiasts with a keen eye might see some similarities to the now-retired Supreme ZS232 of years past (\u00adCenturion owns the Supreme brand), but the Nv233 is 100 percent new and 100\u00a0percent Centurion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engine and Ballast<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, being built in the Centurion family means the Nv is \u00adconstructed around the acclaimed Opti-V hull design, which offers 21\u00a0degrees of deadrise at the transom. This deeper-V design not only provides for a more comfortable ride in choppier waters, but it also makes it easier to be displaced by the ballast, which in turn kicks up sizable wakes and waves for riding fun. When it comes to ballast, the Nv233 packs a punch, with the total available weight adding up to a whopping 5,000 pounds. More than half of this total can be filled in less than 90 seconds if you opt for the \u00adavailable RAMFILL2 system when ordering yours.<\/p>\n<p>To shape that displaced water into a fun riding surface, the Nv233 can be equipped with another of Centurion\u2019s acclaimed systems: QuickSurf Pro. These transom-\u00admounted plates deploy at the push of a button and create solid wakesurfing waves that feature a clean, consistent face and a large pocket with plenty of push. The optional center-mounted Silent Stinger Wake Plate can be adjusted to change the size and shape of the wave\u2014\u00adallowing riders of all skill levels and styles to enjoy riding behind the Nv233\u2014but it also incorporates the boat\u2019s exhaust, keeping it underwater to reduce overall engine noise. The Silent Stinger Wake Plate also adjusts the size and shape of the wakeboarding wake and the Nv233\u2019s running attitude. With a couple of clicks of the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the captain can quickly and easily make\u00a0\u00adadjustments.<\/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-Nv233-2-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Centurion Nv233 helm\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-2.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The Nv233 features a wide-screen touchscreen for easy systems control.<\/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\">Interior and Accessories<\/h2>\n<p>The helm is clean and simple, avoiding the clutter found aboard a lot of other boats. A wide-screen touchscreen offers the captain easy, intuitive control of all the boat\u2019s systems. The new user interface is simple. From ballast and surf setups to lighting, navigation and more, it\u2019s all right at your fingertips. Another nice feature is the new Wet Sounds head unit, just to the left of the steering wheel, for quick control of the tunes. The windshield doesn\u2019t wrap all the way around, but that has advantages for when a captain needs to quickly get behind the wheel without having to walk around the tower to board the boat.<\/p>\n<p>Roswell\u2019s tried-and-true Battle Advance tower is standard on the Nv233, and it not only looks great with the new lines of the boat, but also offers versatility with an oversize \u00adBimini overhead for added shade and \u00adcomfort. For interior amenities, \u00adCenturion doesn\u2019t skimp just to keep the cost of the Nv233 down. The same Spradling vinyl with a 17 mm topcoat found in the top Ri265 model will be found here. Stitching is strong, cushioning is supportive, and you\u2019ll never have to worry about stepping on upholstery. To help you avoid it, though, \u00adCenturion has added a step into the rear bench when accessing the transom. Beneath all the seats, storage is plentiful for all the requisite gear needed for a day on the lake. For added comfort on cooler days, the Nv233 can also be equipped with extendable heater vents. \u00adDespite its lower profile, the wraparound seating is well below the gunwales, offering \u00adcomfortable and secure seats for all on board.<\/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-Nv233-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Centurion Nv233 cockpit\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-Centurion-Nv233-3.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Roswell\u2019s Battle Advance Tower looks great, offers versatility, and keeps a Bimini top overhead for shade.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Garrett Cortese<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>To shop against the Nv233, buyers should take a look at the Moomba Mojo, \u00adanother 23-footer that comes well-equipped at $123,910, and is known for its ease of use and solid performance.
