Centurion Boats Enzo SV240 2009

OVERVIEW

Centurion Boats is perhaps wakesurfing’s biggest champion. That commitment radiates from the Centurion Enzo SV240, the company’s flagship and the official tow boat of the World Wakesurfing Championships. Wakesurf-centric features are everywhere, from the new Skylon wakesurf rack to the Sideswipe Exhaust, which channels fumes to either side of the boat, letting riders tuck into barrels without worry. While the Centurion SV240 can stake a fair claim to the title of world’s best wakesurf boat, it’s also a pro-level wakeboard ride. Thanks to the new colored billet dash and the mirror polish of the bling-bling billet kit, our test boat was the most well-put-together Centurion we’ve been in.

FAVORITE FEATURE:

Gladiator Tower

Combining a state-of-the-art swooped-back look with the easy-fold-down function, the brand-new Gladiator tower is a must-have for the serious rider. It’s also a great platform for Centurion’s range of wakeboard and wakesurf racks and the Amphitheatre 2 sound system, which includes four matching Rubicon tower speakers.

THE WAKES

With a five-tank, 1,250-pound ballast system, our test boat threw a clean and meaty wake with comfortable transitions and a lot of straight-up pop. This almost-25-footer can handle a lot of weight, so load it up with the sixth available tank and 16 people for one of the best wakesurf sessions you’ll find inland.
