  2. FX-22 - New Centurion Model?

    fresh off the Facebook page of centurion. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CENTURION BOATS INTRODUCES THE NEW FX-22 WITH THE HAMMERHEAD BOW AT THE CENTURION EXPERIENCE PARTY AT LAKE LAS VEGAS Merced, CA May 21, 2012 - Centurion rocked Las Vegas and the rest of the boating world when it launched the all new FX-22 with the Hammerhead Bow at The Centurion Experience Party last night at Lake Las Vegas. The new FX-22 has a sleek, aerodynamic design where form and function come together to create a confluence of artistic efficiency. As the newest addition to the Centurion line, the FX-22 comes in at 22 feet 3 inches and has a beam of 102 inches making it one of the widest 22 foot boats on the market. Also, new for 2013 is Centurion’s Touch Vision electronic dashboard with LED gauges and a cool, sporty look rich in technology. With more than 40 of its top dealers on hand for the launch party at Lake Las Vegas, the new boat took center stage as the music stopped and the bright lights illuminated the FX-22 for the first time. The room was packed and as the anticipation grew for more than hour, the boats sat covered. Then at 9 pm with Centurion’s pro athletes in the forefront, Rick Lee of Centurion took the stage and started the countdown; “Three, two,” and the thunderous sound of rocket engines rumbled through the room. The crowd roared in the smoke-filled room as the shimmering red-and-black FX-22 was raised on a hydraulic lift, glowing with futuristic blue LED lights and a stylish white interior. One attendee, with camera phone in hand, was overheard to say, “This is crazy good!” The countdown continued three, two, one and the lights flared illuminating the FX-22 for the first time! The party continued as the DJ played into the night while onlookers were invited to inspect the new boats firsthand and Centurion factory staff answered questions. Centurion’s President, Rick Lee said, “The FX-22 was developed applying methods used by world-class race car manufacturers, then applying them to the challenge of enhancing the Centurion experience so that all families and customers can extract maximum enjoyment. We’ve been working to develop a boat that was not like anything else on the market. We took a lot of inspiration from race car manufacturers and we think that this new boat with the Hammerhead Bow will revolutionize the watersports boat market but we need to be perfectly clear – It’s not another pickle fork boat!” Denoting the recent flood to the market, Rick Lee referred to the onslaught of “pickle fork” boats that have a distinctive “forked” look to their outline but he was insistent that the FX-22 with its exceptional styling was not another pickle fork boat. The FX-22 has the ability to adjust performance characteristics on three-axis. 1. Ride attitude, bow up or down. 2. Left or right lean with ballast adjustments or the use of after planes. 3. Rudder loading or crab from counter weight versus opposite after plane application. The new Centurion Touch Vision dash-pod has an advanced look and will give the driver everything needed to put the boat into the best performance for each rider with ten “saved” performance settings. Les Clark, VP of Manufacturing said, “We’re so excited about this new dashboard, it gives so much information in an intuitive and intelligent way. Our team has worked on this for a long time. Our dealers and pro team love it and it’s a huge improvement going forward.” Another exciting feature of the FX-22 is the new collapsible Aegis tower and hardtop bimini which collapses a full seven inches lower than the 2012 model. Centurion’s professional wakeboarding and wake surfing team consists of the most decorated athletes in the World. Centurion’s world class wakeboarding team consists of Ricky Gonzales, Noah Fleegel, and Gordon Harrison. The world renowned Centurion Pro Wake Surf Team which holds a combined 11 World Wake Surfing Championship titles includes Bri Chmel, Rebecca Ort, Keenan Fleegel and Drew Danielo. * * * * About Centurion: Centurion Boats is most recognized as the first boat company to produce a dedicated wakesurfing boat and with its new FX-22 model, Centurion remains at the top-of-the-class in this space. In addition to world class wakesurfing boats, Centurion has been a pioneer in wakeboarding and slalom ski boat technology. Centurion held the first World Wake Surfing Championship in 1995, an event that has grown to become the world’s largest, annual, premier wake surfing event.

    i agree with you LakeSurfer......
  4. FX-22 - New Centurion Model?

  5. FX-22 - New Centurion Model?

    while i do agree that at first glance this boat is not overly attractive to the eyes, i am hopeful that it will look better in person. What i really want to find out is the technology that this boat boasts. As we all know Centurion can re-configure the top of the boat to "look good" so long as the technology of the boat is progressive for wake sports there is a great deal of potential here.

    can you tell us about the 3 axis technology and some the features?
  7. I got my tractor weights from my ranch in NorCal. I would suggest you go to a big ranch and ask the owner if they have any tractor weights that they would be willing to sell. I am sure you could buy them for cheap. Most big ranches have a stock pile of them.
  8. I have the same boat and this is how I have it set up for wakeboarding, I left the stock tank alone and tapped into the intake with a 4 way and added a jabsco ballast pump. I placed a 1/4 turn ball valve going to each 550lb sack in the V-drive lockers so I can divert water to one side or another if I want to surf. Additionally I added 250lbs to the bow with tractor weights. Move people around to even out the wake and have a good time from 70ft back. Now to get your boat set up for surfing I run the 550 in the locker plus 350 on top of the locker plus 350 in front of the locker. The 250lbs of tractor weights is permanent and I noticed the center tank being filled made the wake a little longer. To really clean up the wake I recommend that you have your friends sit on the surf side in the back and 1-2 people in the bow on the surf side. the people in the bow will help make the wake longer. I know this is a lot of weight but This is what I found makes the wake with this boat. good luck
  9. Ever been to Lake Almonar

    Sorry to hear about your experience at Lake Almonar. I grew up going to that lake as a kid and in later years when I was in college. The only negative experience I recall is getting kicked out of the cabin my parents rented because the other family that came with us wanted to go in the attic but it was locked. Long story short they got into the attic and the property owner found out via the neighbors. As for the lake I would never go there to ride. To cold and chopped out for me. I would recommend Bucks Lake. It is next to Quincy Ca. It is a PG&E lake and they do a great job maintaining it. There is a lodge and cabins available there as well as camp sites. The lake has 1 bar and restaurant. They also have a Summer Boy Scout camp. I would say that the lake conditions are better than Almonar.
  10. New tow rig

    Troy R. nice find that is the stuff you can only find in the central valley.
  11. I don't know much about the hybrid but I am interested to see how you like it. Here is a link from consumer reports review of the Tahoe hybrid. I will warn you the review is not a positive review for handling and comfort. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/video-hub/cars/suvs--minivans/chevrolet-tahoe-hybrid-review/14684583001/1819737984/
  12. New tow rig

    Nice choice. I'm on my 3rd dodge diesel and hands down the best mod for your truck will be a Mads smarty Sr. Power tuned. Gain fuel mileage and power. To do it right you will need intake and exhaust done with it but it is the best mod you can do to your truck. I'll try and post some pics of my current and past trucks.
  13. Soulcraft Welcome to the community and thank you for all that you do for the sport.
  14. I call this the Texas Sports Boats "Patriot Edition" A tribute to the all american Texan. With a few more custom touches this could be a special request package. I used the Centurion shield as the decal but I would put a large white star in its place the make the Patriot Edition complete. Along with a full compliment of enzo sacs
  15. cheap ballast
