New RI237 owner

[SurfRipper8180 2]

Recently Purchased a RI237. Looking for best surf setups. Boat has Ramfill and Plug play rears. Also have 500#'s of lead but have not used yet. regular footed riders. basic set up 10.9 - 11.2 mph, stinger plate 18 -22, tab 65 - 70 / 0 on opposite tab. typical crew 4 people. Just wondering what others are running> Much appreciated. stoked to be in the Centurian family. Old boat was an Axis A22. huge diff right out of the box.

BoardCo did some good videos of surf wave setup for the RI boats.

If you type "BoardCo, RI237 surf setup" into the search bar on youtube it will bring up several video's from them like this below 1st one.

plug n play rear bags 100%

center tank 70%

bow bag 0%

surf tab 70

stinger plate 50

cats -10

200lbs lead in each rear locker at the very rear

100lbs lead under each corner rear seat

You need to ride a 257....

Thanks for the great info. I did stumble on to the Boardco vids. They def helped. 

SurfOsoyoos, great feedback. I see you run a RI257. Sick boat. I am going to dial up settings tomorrow when we jump on lake. I wonder how they will translate to 237. Also boat is a 19' but didn't come built with cats. Might affect a little bit. Thoughts? Cant wait to ride. Really love the boat. Huge upgrade from Malibu products. In my opinion.

Working on it. HA.

Haha, no, that’s why I said best wave I’VE ridden. Don’t want to have to buy a new boat. Haven’t seen a new 257 on the lake yet?

That was me that replied with that information. I have a 2017 ri237, surf osoyoos has a 257. Honestly the cats won’t make a huge difference and you have the opti v Hull. I came from Malibu’s and couldn’t be happier with my ri. No way I could go back. 

[SurfRipper8180 2]

Cool. Thanks for the info. Cant wait to get back on the lake. Yeah we have a couple Malibu's with crew I ride with but after they rode behind the Centurion. A lot of chatter on who is next to jump. Thanks again. Let you know how set up goes.

I find running Cats can really help with beginner and skim riders. For the surf riders I only use cats just to clean up the rooster if there is a fully loaded boat and I don't want to ask people to move around.

 

You could go without it...but I would prefer to have the choice.
