congrats,, i cant wait either, i am picking mine up on friday, its 70 in the pittsburgh, but the water sub 50.

[Dreamer 96]

It is an SV230. We are in Victoria and we mostly ride at Shawnigan Lake, though we do a couple of camping trips to Sprout lake. Did you guys do the 20 hour "take is easy" break-in or did you load the ballast and surf right away?

I thought that was the building... that is the local dealer here in the LA/OC area.

 

How was your experience with them?

The new boat looks awesome! It is always nice to see another Canuck on the forum. Anyhow, I am wondering if you can fill me in a bit on Shawnigan Lake. My in-laws are in Cobble Hill and I have thought about bringing the boat over and rpping the kids and their cousins around but I wasn't sure about Shawnigan Lake. Is it super busy? Any areas which should be avoided due to hazards or shallowness etc.? How about the best launch to use and good areas of the lake to use for watersports.

 

Thanks

The lake is not as busy as I had heard. We were on their a ton last season and never had problems. I do not know all of the places to avoid yet so I just stay away from the islands. It is pretty deep for the most part though. The best launch is off Recreation Road, on the east side of the lake.

You know, a lot of Nadians have Centurions .... do you have kool lakes or what ?? Nice lookin Enzo !! Awesome summer for you !!

Ok, it looks like I will try and get the 20 hour break in period before I fill up the enzo sac and surf. The rain finally stopped for a few hours on the weekend so we headed to the lake and got 2.5 hours on it. I brought my 11 and 9 year old boys and they each brought a friend. I let them drive the boat around the lake all day. I told them to cruise between 1500 - 3500 rpm. They mostly did figure eights in the middle of the lake. Fun times.

 

Here are a few things I noticed:

 

The enzo was not as quiet or refined as my previous boat, an 02 Supra SSV which really suprised me. It just did not seem to have much insulation or vibration dampening as compared to the Supra. How have your Centurions compared to other boats?

 

The boat was a little gutless as well. I have to get that 13.5x17.5 prop changed as soon as the engine is broken in. I have an Acme 1433 from my Supra that I had trimmed to 13.5" and cupped at 0.185 that I will try. I can not believe that Centurion would put such a prop on a boat this heavy.

 

Anyway, 17.5 more hours to go before I fill the enzo sac and ride!
