What do you guys think of this boat??

Think it's too big for it's own good? i think it might be towing around 20mph with the nose up in the air. I found on for 53K with 50hours on it. I think it's a cool design and you woudn't see everyone riding around with the same boat. Talked to a centurion rep today and he said there are only 2 in the US right now for sale new.

I just know if I had 53K it definatly wouldn't go on that boat but that's my opinion.

There's a guy on here that has one. For me, it's way too big and if I had that kind of money to spend, I'd get something other than that.

You want a cigarette boat buy a cigarette boat, you want a wakeboard boat buy a wakeboard boat....

Looks like a piece of junk to me, you asked.

J_DOGG, I agree
anti-shoobies, There is also alot more surface area w/ that 5000 pounds. It's like a fat scuba diver they need alot of weight to sink them.

we have a saying about big boats like that. the guy that buys a boat that size must be over compensating for a lack of size else where Rolling Eyes

that boats to big....looks like a waste....of money and space, esp. up front

When you buy a boat, who cares how much gas it uses. Obviously if you can afford a boat like this, you can pay for the gas. And I know for a fact more than 2 were built in the US, they have to have at least one demo.

If you ride in a lake that boat is way to big!!! I agree,If I had 53k to spen on a boat, it wouldn't be going that way. I also agree that it would need alot of weight to sink it evenly!!

There are so many really, really good wakeboarding boats to be had for that kind of money. Yes, it is an I/O & this is the boat that Centurion was targeting more for Wakesurfing than Wakeboarding. Another point against it, I never, ever buy the first year of any model of anything, be it a car, boat, motorcycle, you name it. Manufacturers are notorious for coming out with something that is completely new & then taking 3 or 4 years to get all of the bugs worked out. For that money I would go look at X-Stars, Air Nautiques, or Wakesetters - they're all proven.

Seems like some people have “little dingy envy!” Texas sure seems to like his, but than again everything is bigger in Texas.
