Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am looking to pick up a 2003-2008 boat for under 30k. Looking at all the major brands but keep coming back to Centurion. I am finding it extremely difficult to put together all the information for the models and what they are designed for (T5, Hurricane, Avalanche, Enzo, storm package, length, etc). My ideal boat has normal wear and tear, low hours on the engine, and solid reviews from current and past owners. I will be using this for 75% surfing, 15% cruising, and 10% boarding and skating. I was lucky enough to have an '06 Air Nautique new so I am familiar with what a high quality boat should look and sound like. I realize this is a broad topic (1/3 wanted ad, 1/3 history, and 1/3 recommendations) but I don't have any way to test these boats out where I live in northern Indiana.

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or information,

 

Paul

In order of preference IMHO

Enzo (with the exception of the 216/220 it has a different hull) 23' 102" beam

Avalanche C4 (the C4 has wrap around seating the Avalanche wo the C$ has a walk thru) 22' 100" beam

Lightning C4 (same hull as the avalanche but narrower and shorter) 21'6" 94" beam

Elite V with Air warrior package (same hull as the lightning C4)

Cyclone C4 (same hull as lightning C4 but Shorter)

Hurricane/lightning(without the C4) (this boat has a small extension of the hull that most people have trouble getting a good surf wake)

T5 (inboard ski boat)

In your price range and with a 75% emphasis on surfing you are looking for a Enzo, Avalanche, or Elite V. In that order. But that price range is gonna be hard to find a Enzo. So more than likely you are looking for an Avalanche.

I looked for a long while, had a decent boat previously. My wife wanted to stay around the 35 range, but my (admittedly inexperienced) opinion is that an Enzo is the way to go, even if that means an extra 5-10 k.

Kevin, Thank you for the info. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Bigcatpt, Flyfish, thank you as well for your input.

Does anyone know about the storm packages? Do they add any value to the boat or are they just speakers and lights?

 

Thanks,

Given your price limitation, the Avalanche is going to be your best bet, of any brand for surfing. You'll find plenty of boats in that range, but your satisfaction with its ability to lay out a sick wake is directly related to how much you invest into additional ballast, so keep that in mind for your budget.

 

I would not recommend the Lightning or Elite for surfing at all. I've been on an Elite, and the wake is a bit thin and hard to stay on.

X2 on the elite. They are tough to get a good surf wake out of. They were designed prior to surfing becoming the "in" thing. they are designed to wake board well and be an all around tow boat.

remember there are 2 versions of boats called Elite V/Hurricane stopped being built in 2006

this is the old hull and hard to get a good wake

 

The Elite V C4/Lightning C4 is the same hull as the Avalanche just shorter and narrower

Generally details out ballast packages as well as perfect pass, you'll find a lot of variation though...

Thank you to everyone that posted here. I looked at every brand and every year from 2000 to current and kept coming back to Centurion Avy C4 or the enzo. Finally decided to go with the Enzo. I will say that if anyone else is reading this in the same position I was in, everybody has something to knock about every brand. I have not found a single thread though that Centurion owners or people that had ridden behind Centurions were complaining about the wake of a Centurion Avalanche or Enzo. I am going to look through the threads now to see what type of lift and aftermarket goodies everyone is recommending. Thanks again and I will post pictures as soon as I officially have the boat.

Great Details everyone, very informative... I had a similar question, however the only think that i didnt see mentioned here is the C4 Typhoon model... here is a pic of the aft step down... I have heard horror story of folks picking the wrong model... and investing in hydraulic wake shapers etc. only to realize it was the shape of their hull that was causing the issues in the wave pattern... 

can anyone tell me if the 06 centurion C4 Typhoon would be good for 70% surfing / 25% cruising / 5% skiing62b0d466670bd_ScreenShot2022-06-20at3_10_58PM.png.0f28309783ab6ad57cd30f831a03d693.png

Boat is in amazing shape, annd very low hrs... but dont want to buy something that wont produce a good wake for surfing...

      I see Lamb80782 had the same remove the driver seat as I am having.
      I didn't see the ulitmate solution.  I think removing "stop" would be the solution but am unable to see very well under the seat.  Has anyone come up with the solution?
      I also am reoving to have re-uphostered.  Itried removing the black access cover but it is very tight under there and not enough room for a regular wrench.  May try a 1/4 rachet drive.
