Hi all,

I'm new here - haven't browsed or searched much. I just bought a Centurion Cyclone C4. I have noticed that a few folks don't care for the brand. Seemed like a nice boat to me - runs well anyway. It's a family boat right now - my kids are 9 and 11 - I figured it ought to get them going.

Fill me in. Big mistake? Good to go? I'm sure the regulars here have opinions - let's hear 'em.

Thanx.

As long as it fits your needs that's all that matters.

Absolutely why would you care what anyone on this board thinks. If you like the boat it suits your needs it is reliable and your family loves you are good to go!

Thanks Mac - although that's a bit of a generic reply. Very Happy

I have a Centurion dealer and a Nautique dealer within five miles. The Cyclone was a quicker, cheaper proposition and I gotta admit - I don't know stuff about boats. I guess I'll find out.

Ya want positive reinforcement Very Happy

hear ya go
Just spent the day in a Cyclone C4
Took some friends out and they loved the boat and the wake!
This thing has a huge wake compared to my Eclispe DD.
It sent me into a whole new zip code
The big bonus for me it has a Tournament quality barefoot wake
smooothe back deeps perfect curl and a flat low turbulance wake Colorful

hey dude he brings up a good point, i go big on my c4 wake and after the day is done i always have a few barefoot runs left in me, with the ballists drained the barefoot wake is pretty nice

yep the wake is much better than at least a couple of the boats that are
Barefoot tournment approved.

This is a pictuer i snaged from a video not great quality, but if you notice the water is pretty rough but the curl is glass!
