  1. I have owned an 07 Enzo 230 and a 14 Enzo 230. Enzo sacs on each side will be produce a really good wave. We stuck with that and were fine but you might want to consider a little lead in the back as well. Bow weight is generally unnecessary for surfing an Enzo. My 07 had the Sideswipe exhaust and I hated it. It was way too loud. If we had kept it any longer I would have definitely looked into the baffle options mentioned above. Overall, looks like a great boat though! Hope it works out for you!
  2. 2016 SV244 pricing

    Like the green. Loved the blue of the Chattanooga one more actually! But the green is growing on me
  3. 2016 SV244 pricing

    I too have a '16 SV244 with the 343. I don't care about top end, so haven't even gone over 25-28mph with it. It surfs great, even fully loaded with ballast. We have a small crew though (usually no more than 5 or 6 adults) so I can't speak to performance with a large crew. We live in TN so altitude isn't a problem. In fact, I considered buying the boat you are looking at before we got ours. I passed though because 1) the dealer wasn't budging off his 89k price at the time 2) another brand new '16 SV244 was for sale closer to me near Nashville and I snatched that one up because it was the same price but had nearly every available option for that model year. In my opinion, 83k is a great price for that boat. Double check what prop is on it and adjust if necessary and then buy it.
  4. Batteries

    Sounds like to be on the safe side that I might want to consider 2 new batteries? Cranking and deep cycle? And just get it over with? FWIW that Battery Tender is a smart charger and doesn't over charge. It switches to maintenance mode when the battery is fully charged.
  5. Batteries

    Battery Tender trickle charge. And yeah, very odd. But should I replace it with another cranking battery or move the #2 battery to that position and then put in a deep cycle as the house battery?
  6. Batteries

    Battery 1 (the one that doesn't hold a charge now) was the main cranking battery. Battery 2 (also a starting battery) was being used as a house battery. The switch is off/1/both. I am pretty green with electrical so not sure what the VSR is? I trailer my boat is it goes in the garage after every use and I frequently (though not always) remember to put it on a trickle charge afterward.
  7. Batteries

    Sorry for hijacking, but this is kind of along the same lines... those with a dual battery setup, do you have a starting battery and a deep cycle, or two starting batteries, or two dual purpose? My ss230 came with two starting batteries and number one is already worn out in less than 2 years. Wondering if I should switch to a deep cycle to run everything else and moving the other starting battery to be primarily used for starting now. Any thoughts?
  8. CREW DEAL: 2015 CenturionCrew.Com Spare Tire Cover

    Got mine today! Definitely worth the wait! Looks really sharp and I love that it matches my black and white on the boat! Thanks admin for getting this deal together!
  9. Lake Water Temp

    62 - 64 here at our small reservoirs in Western Colorado. No wetsuit needed... just jump on in!
  10. 2002 hurricane surf video

    Wave is looking pretty good for a Hurricane. I don't think I ever got mine any bigger than that.

    Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcdHt36DRxk
  12. Gotta love the flames! My first boat - an 02 Hurricane - had flames on the rear lockers and in the bow! lol
  13. Congrats on the new boat! Love that color combo! Very sharp.
  14. 2003 elite v tanks

    I have a mid ballast hard tank left from my old 07 Enzo that I would be willing to sell - I think it is 250lbs or so full. Don't know if it would fit what you are looking for or not. I could do outside measurements of it when I get home tonight if you think this would be helpful. I might even be able to get ahold of the other tank that was on that boat. I accidently left it at the dealer when I had some ballast swapped out and forgot to ever go back and get it. But it wouldn't surprise me if they still had it! Let me know.
  15. New Pickup Recommendations

    I know you guys have mostly been talking about diesels, but I pull my Enzo ss230 with a '10 Nissan Titan and it does great. The gas mileage isn't great - but that seems to be a common theme on this thread. I live at 4600ft and frequently pull to lakes at 6500ft - 8000ft and I have no trouble at all with the Titan. When towing I get 9-11 mpg and without towing I get 12 - 14 mpg around town and 15 - 17 mpg on the highway.
  16. Boat shipping?

    I purchased from Olinger Marine in Idaho but my boat was delivered to me straight from the factory. The driver that Olinger contracted with charged me $1/mile. I thought that was a pretty good deal and it came shrink wrapped so everything was well protected and kept clean.
  17. New boat

    Congrats, man! I had an 07 Enzo as well. You are gonna love it!
  18. Sideswipe exhaust question

    Here is another option for the sideswipe. I had an 07 Enzo with sideswipe and was going to do this mod until I just ended up selling it and getting a '14. You can order a welded baffle from Fineline and replace the "flapper style." From what I understand, it does reduce the noise noticeably and is probably cheaper than rerouting the exhaust to the transom. Check out this thread: http://www.centurioncrew.com/index.php/topic/4527-baffles-to-reduce-sideswipe-noise/?hl=%2Bsideswipe+%2Bbaffle#entry53337
  19. I would be in for the tire cover!
  20. What's Your Boat's Name

    My old boat that some of you have probably seen pics of - the black NASCAR #3 - we called it Dale... for obvious reasons. My new 2014 SS230 doesn't have a name yet. I personally don't care if it has a name or not (and I would never put a name on the boat) but my wife wants it to have a name, so we'll see what she comes up with.
  21. LETS SEE YOUR RIDES

    I really like it. It's pretty easy to use and I can see it pretty well even on a bright sunny day. It could probably stand to be a bit bigger screen, but it's not really a big deal.
  22. Boat shops

    You came to Mattas, eh? I live in Grand Junction, and used to frequent Mattas... I am not a fan. Now I take my boat to a place called Chuck's Marine here in town. They don't sell boats or accessories. They only work on boats and they do a good job at a much better price than Mattas. So if you are willing to drive back to GJ, I'd recommend Chuck's.
  23. LETS SEE YOUR RIDES

    So I was an awful slacker this fall and never put up pics of my new 2014 Enzo SS230! I got it in early Sept. So here's a few I took before I put her up for the winter. This is going to be the longest winter... evah.
  24. SS210 and SS220

    I am hopefully taking it out for the first time tomorrow and will get pics up then. We live in the freakin desert and it never rains here... except this week. We had more rain just yesterday than the entire month of Sept last year! Been raining today, and they are calling for more tomorrow. So we'll see!
