Opti-V Hull

With its 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, the Opti-V hull displaces more water, before any extra weight is added, while preserving a great rough water ride. 

• At each corner of the transom a flat triangle extends towards bow creating lift along the rear half of the boat for a level running attitude, front to back as well as side to side. Due to this balanced design, the Opti-V Hull enhances fuel economy and provides a much quieter ride than most boats delivering this type of power. With hook built into the rear edge of delta pad, the seated driver can see over the bow while pulling a rider without compromising the waves or wakes thanks to a level running attitude. The hull also deflects rollers, at the bow and transom, so big water can’t spoil your fun. It’s clear the Opti-V Hull delivers the best waves, wakes and ride - in all conditions.

Ballast

Our ballast is distributed evenly throughout the boat, displacing weight along the entire running surface to create a longer wave and balanced running attitude, front to back, with virtually no bow rise to distract the driver. We believe this creates a superior experience for drivers, passengers and riders.

• The Nv213 comes with as many as six precisely placed ballast locations that, when combined, create 4900-pounds of displacement. And for 2026, that weight moves faster than ever thanks to Centurion’s standard Fast Mover Ballast System by SeaFlow, which cuts fill times by more than 68%. This 21’ 3” performance machine can hold up to 12 people while pushing out the kind of wave that makes you want to go all day long.

Fuel Efficiency

We love the fact that Centurion offers more than 50% better fuel efficiency than any other water sports boat out there. After all, better fuel efficiency means more time on the water and a less expensive ride for you. But how can we be so much more fuel efficient? It’s the design.

• Centurion’s Opti-V may be a modified deep-v hull designed to maximize displacement, but the running surface has a lot of lift built into it. This eliminates drag and creates balance for less resistance, meaning the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to push a Centurion through the water whether it is weighted to ride or set-up for a cruise.

RamFill²

We have a nickname for the available RAMFILL² ballast system. We call it the “Baller.” It’s a nearly maintenance free system that offers 2600 pounds – plus of ballast capacity that fills in 90 seconds.

• With its four stainless steel two-inch valves (two in two out), anything plastic is eliminated. The large sub-floor tanks extend from the helm to the transom on each side of the lounge. This just adds to the well-distributed ballast placement and helps create longer waves with consistent push from the face to the curl crash. Baller, indeed.

Tower

Up. Down. Dialed In. Standard on every Centurion, the DropZone Auto Tower (DZAT) is built for strength, style, and seamless function. 

• With dual Linak electric actuators and floating mounts, it folds down in 10 seconds and rises in 14—quiet, smooth, and free of vibration. Just press and hold the rocker switch, and let it do the work. The patented CAM latch and compact design keep it secure and sleek, while side tow points help riders of all styles get up and going. Built-in center hangers hold ropes, towels, and vests, and courtesy lighting keeps everything visible, even after sunset. It’s strength you can feel, performance you can trust, and function you’ll never want to go without.
