Centurion's Line for 2017

[Darkside 248]

Will not let me edit my own post...

Hi I am DarkSide....

Auto correct thought hilarious would be better than hi....

[Lak3surf3r 714]

Sorry, DarkSideR...my brother from another mother...

I joined here a while back and was lurking in the shadows, I was contemplating an ENZO at the time. But as Baws noted I stayed with BU. It's that time again and 95% positive next one will NOT be BU.

I surf 95% of the time and I am Goofy, so having the ability to switch sides quickly has always been high priority. I am demoing 237 in a couple weeks but also really want more info on the 257. We actually use our bow for passengers on a regular basis. Someone is up there almost every outing, at some point. So the larger bow boats appeal to us.

I have been incredibly happy with my BU wave, but you have to slam the P!$$ out of it to get anywhere. The new RI series seams to be a great fit for us.

 

I should have done a more appropriate intro...

Hilarious I am DarkSide....

I have a wake surfing addiction....

Where are you in PHX? I live in Las Sendas in NE mesa by Saguaro lake. Thats my RI that you will be demoing. (the orange one) Id rather take you out on it myself if possible rather than the dealer since I know it better than anyone.

 

Actually they just got their 2017 in but let me know either way.

Don't know why y'all hate on the hammerhead bow. I love it. Interested to see the new design

 

Don't hate it Dark....just don't love it!!! If I'm spending that kind of money I want to love it. I fell in love with the classic Centurion lines and thats why I went with the brand (then I discovered this site and surfing) and I'm disapointed they have decided to completely

move away from it. Since there is no new boat in my foreseeable future I'm ok....if that changes I will have some tough decisions to make and more than anything it might depend on what Hillside is doing!

I posted this in another thread as well but from what im told by my close sources the FI will be lucky to hit our boat show (march of 2017) or possibly as late as it being an early '18 model.

Lake,

We are in Queen Creek. We go to Saguaro in the winter, and on weekday mornings. In the summer we go to Roosevelt on Saturday's to avoid the crowds at saguaro.

We were planning to demo the 2017. I think Jesse would be good at setting it up for us. I would love to meet you up there one day. Typically owner enthusiasts are much better than sales folks. I can let you try the BU, but if you surf regular side you will likely be underwhelmed. I want to surf both boats back to back.

How's the new z1?

[viking 491]

and I have my 214 fx22 still

WHAT?? You have 2 boats still? Thought that went down the road when your Ri237 came in

I do at the moment lol. I actually just bought that one back at a ridiculously low price that I couldn't pass up! The person that bought my FX22 traded it in on my FS44 and had only put 30 hours on it so its currently sitting at 186 hours.

Haha thanks! Im just trying to get where you are though, I want a lake house with my boat in the back yard

[Darkside 248]

I think lakehouse is most of our goal. That is where I vote to end up. Hopefully before I am too old to enjoy it

[stoked 1,039]

I feel like our lake house helps keep our hours down. We go out, surf for an hour or two and then back to the dock to hang out and float for a couple of hours before going out again. When we drop in at the river, we tend to stay out all day to make the most of it, just scooting around burning up hours

[enzo101mo 98]

My Lake house is about 3/8 of mile from the launch ramp in our community at Oak Shores. Our California lake are not like other lake in our country and not much lake front homes that you can walk out to your dock. Do to the Mountains we have and the water levels change each season. When the water level drops the lake slopes downward away from your property

[CO Surfer 289]

The lake I boat on is Bureau of Reclamation land. That would mean zero lake homes.

Camping?!

[Tommywalton1974 175]

I live near my home lake. Within a mile. It's nice.

 

Life goals?? have a beautiful lake house with lots of Windows and a fabulous view of a lake that is not so muddy with a path to a dock with a boat lift. I really wouldn't know how to act if I didn't have to visit the ramp 4 times in a weekend. Oh and a fat A$$ Ri waiting at that dock.

[Cdifranco 463]

I definitely feel living on the lake keeps my hours down but also drives them up for a good reason. I use the boat a lot more than if I trailered it but I very rarely am just cruising around or sitting somewhere. We leave the dock bags filling and pull back in bags draining!
