Centurion has a few things in place to prevent passive hydrolock, however if enough weight is added at the rear of the boat it is always a concern regardless of the boat brand or model. More info on the really uncommon issue of passive hydrolock can be found here: czcams.com/video/w0Vb2A6hRVk/video.html
Luckily this is something that you can actually verify - nearly all the boat manufacturers publish the amount of ballast they put in the boats and if you look there is a VERY big difference between differed manufacturers.
They sell centurions. Yes their is a bias. But you will find that from every test video with all makes of wake boats. I think you are missing the point of the video (missing the forest for the trees). He never even claims it is the longest, he merely shows you can get a super long wave.
With this set up and speed, what kind of GPH will this boat get? I watched some other videos where your boats were clocking in between 12 to 18 gph. I’d like to see the difference if possible.
We haven't hooked up a diacom to the boat when surfing with this setup (higher speed, longer wave settings), but we would expect it to consume more than our standard amount of fuel just because of increased speed. Standard fuel consumption on a Centurion Ri237 with a H6 engine sits at around 8 GPH. That said, while surfing, the highest number we have ever seen as far as fuel consumption goes was on a fully loaded Ri257 with a XR7 supercharged engine which clocked in at 13.5 gph with the most vertical wave settings we could run. The only boats you will see that will have you at 18+ gph would be a Malibu or Axis with the wedge deployed.
Centurion Ri237 12.5 MPH - In this video we ran at roughly 12.5 mph which creates a longer wave (which, as you are aware, was the point of the video). Most of the time we run around 11.5 mph which creates a wave that isn't quite as long (still 25+ feet) but is taller and steeper with more power. Weight Set up - Full Factory Ballast (5,100 lbs.) + Full Crew in the boat
@@danlee2794 We had 7 people in the boat with an average weight of probably 180 lbs. We didn't measure RPM but probably right about 3800 with the higher speed. Typically we surf at around 3200 RPMs on the Ri237 at 11.2 mph.
So helpful, we are got our Ri237in January and put it in the water today for the first time. We are armed with great information for our next trip out,. Getting summer ready. So different than our Supra 05. Lol
Welcome to the Centurion Boats family! The Ri237 is definitely different than an 05 Supra 😅 I'm glad you found this helpful, let us know if you have any other questions regarding your Ri237. Have an amazing time on the water.

@@jakeblues58 What we're demonstrating is how versatile the Centurion wakesurf wave is, check this one out - czcams.com/video/niAe7gQATHs/video.html Happy boating!
What about the ten foot of slack in the tape?
Can you post his weight and size of board, and settings on surf screen?
We got a Ri237, what percents were you running ur plates at for the longest possible wave?
Quicksurf plate - 70, Center 40 and speed at 13.2mph
I think it should be measured at the end of the swim platform. The cost of that wake is sobering.
Measured my g23 wake. It was 2 miles til it curled. Crazy. 2015 technology superior!
Hey guys what lake is this? Beautiful great drone footage
Sand Hollow Reservoir! It's near St. George UT. :)
On a 58in model x “just your normal waksurf board” 😂
right, let's just pull out this old thing. Should be fine lol
Hey I am looking for a new wake surfing board really a skim style, I am 6' tall and weight 150. what length board would you recommend 52"?
That board is massive...
love it. Do you think Centurion is working on a fix for the hydro lock?

Buddy’s measuring from inside the boat
Did you even listen to the whole video? He just said, to be legal, he cannot stand on the edge and to remove 5-6' from the measurements... sheesh...
Gotta take the slack out of the tape before getting a real measurement home boy, there’s a couple feet in slack there
Lunaticked agreed I was laughing when I saw that
yeah that's what i was thinking
Couple. FEET!!? Gimme a break
Are you sure Mr. Science? I'd wager your suspect measuring chops extend (pun intended) into other areas as well.
@@joshbryant7363 yup, ever run tape while surveying? I have, you'll be amazing how much length is in that slack.
Thanks for this! What was the ballast setup? (Percentages on each?) and what speed were you going? Sounded like 15?
100% everything.
In this video we were going 12.3 mph
Every one says they have the most ballast

Wave is a great wave but it's super long and but not steep at all
This video was made to show you how long the wake surf wave can get. Centurion waves are very adjustable, from steep to long.
Is boardco owned by centurion... Sure does sound like it

which model Centurion?
Ri237
This boat is hauling butt.
Most waves can get this long loaded down and at 13/14 mph
Short answer is no, it’s not the longest surf wave of any boat out there.

We can do that length on a 2013 Sanger and for a fraction of the price
sure
what model, speed, and weight set up were you using?

How big is the crew in that boat? What RPM is that engine spinning?

that was not 30 ft you could put a 23 foot boat there and it wouldent be longer than 23 ft.

how is the boat weighted? And can you do this with more 200lb guy
The boat was weighted with stock ballast + a full crew.
If you want to see how this boat will work for a 230 lb. guy check this out:

“way 110 ten pounds”
Did you have a stroke when you wrote this? Why be so negative about the video if you can’t even string together a basic sentence?
we have a Tige boat
Lisa Tisdel good for you
Very cool
We don't care
I prefer someone less into themselves show me, you just rate them then shut up. Go home to mom.
