I'm taking 500lbs of lead (thats all the dealer has) a 400lb fat sack and 4 people tomorrow so we will see how it is, Full pics and videos to come. Also whats the deal with the lack of a trim gauge? I know they tried to cut costs but Cmon really?

I said the same thing and posted it on supremes Facebook page

[gator808 84]

my dealer said they are suppose to come with them....the first few boats for some reason didn't. I asked that same question today!

This is a little off of the ballast stream here , but has anyone here owned a centurion then switched to supreme? my Question is how do they compare ride wise, as i have grown to love the ics construction with the walk thru and dash tied together. coming from another brand the solid feel of the centurion made me happy, do the supremes feel solid? why , since they are a fine line boat have they not done the same . my guess is because of molds ? or just staying with what works for that boat.

[gator808 84]

I can only comment froma demoing perspective but when I demoed the fs33 and the supreme 238 we intentionally went through our rollers from the surf wave and both boats feel super solid. The deep v helps tremendously.

H20king and Tprice both made the switch from Centurion to Supreme. They both seem to be happy.

you would not need that much lead once you added sacks under the side seats. Couple hundred pounds of lead and it should be money.

construction is similar we made the change from centurion to supreme and have not looked back. Our supreme is solid and puts out an awesome wave. I would not say supreme is any less solid a boat then the centurion just less features. I like a simple boat so the supreme is perfect for us others like all the gadgets on the centurion. There is no wrong choice they are the top two waves in the business.

Builtforspeed, yes h20 and I switched but neither if us had Enzo's .

My buddy had two 244's and switched to the 226. As he got tired of the finicky wave. Too many issues with ramfill, cats and software issues.

He loves the 226 he's just used to a bigger boat so he's a bit cramped on the supreme.

I'm sure another upgrade will be in the future for him to a bigger boat

[phillewis 39]

I'll chime in here... I came from an 2004 Avy to a 2015 S226... Supreme all day! I know comparing a boat that was 11 years older certainly has a lot to do with it, but damn I love the S226. It feels really big for a sub-23 footer. I love how deep the cockpit is, and the wave is solid. Still a little sensitive side-to-side, but with the quick-surf you can adjust as needed.

 

Overall, it feels extremely stable, and is super fun to drive. I also appreciate analog switches over a touchscreen, and this thing has been a dream so far!

[tprice 118]

Phillewis, do you adjust the surf tabs when just listed or are you referring to when it's weighted both sides

[DarksideR 1,679]

He's mentioned using it to fine tune a listed wave. Very slight movements on the tab.

[viking 491]

I'll echo Phillewis's comments all day long.

Don't have the quicksurf but don't regret not having nor desire them. Nothing a lead bag or 2 can't fix

Travis, Im assuming you are talking about Michael Hooks and hes told me the same things and how much better he likes his 226 over the 244s. I as well had a V226 and I would go back to it since its as close as you can get from supreme to my FS44 wave except im a tech junkie and want a digital dash in it.
