BUILDING A WAKE BOAT!

[@jbplayz5]

This video is sick I wish owned one of these boats!!!

[@WeekendPirate]

Now that I know all of their secrets I’m going to build one of these in my backyard and save me some money 😏

[@jboneill]

Exactly lol

[@SterlingSigurdsen]

Funny thing your not far off. That is what correct craft did to them. The guy who started Centurion boats actually went to Correct Craft first and try to build under their name, but the Meloons said it would never work and told him to kick rocks. They then started making their own boats and built a name for themselves in the industry. And now Correct Craft owned them.

[@annoyboyPictures]

🤣Its easy to copy the hull, but that's probably as far as you could get on a small scale. I think it would be practically impossible to source and install all the electronics and mechanics of the boat.

[@alezi4535]

Dude im from Ukraine,and glad to see your video again, God bless us all,i hope we will wake boarding in this summer,🙏

[@jboneill]

Stay safe over there bro

[@ATXAG]

This is dope! Way to dive into the industry side. Fun fact, Glastron boats, the pioneers of using fiberglass in hulls, was founded in Austin

[@jboneill]

Oh that’s sick I had no idea

[@mikeshipway5990]

Here is another fact about glastron is they r a pile of shit but u gotta start somewhere!

[@SupremeSurfers]

This vid is sick! Centurion has and always will be my favorite boats. Can’t beat them!

[@jboneill]

The boats are mega gangster

[@blakeeckel5056]

This has to be one of the best videos you've put out, even though I didn't go the Centurion route(just received my MB last week), its really awesome seeing how a boat you have designed is put together, great work JB.

[@jboneill]

Thanks so much dude, I was super hyped to see the whole process for the first time

[@lifeinmomentum]

loved this video! super sick to see the boats made, reminds me of when I was a kid and used to doodle wake boat designs in my notebooks in school.

[@jboneill]

i used to draw boats all the time in school lol

[@JoffreyFormont]

So great to see the factory!

[@jboneill]

Place was super cool

[@dannykinross3088]

This was awesome to see! Ram fill is genius!

[@jboneill]

I love my ram fill

[@brandonshowalter757]

that black/blue RI230 you shot when mating the top and bottom was mine. I toured a day or so before you. Great job on this video. Pumped to take deliver this week.

[@jboneill]

so sick!! that one looked insane!

[@jimmypmalibu007]

Awsome vid! Cool to see a walk through. That purple boat at the end looked like a pretty sik colour combo! 😍

[@jboneill]

So dope the purple one

[@erikbenz2048]

Great video of the factory. I was there the same day as you seeing our new boat being built. Now I wish I had taken more pictures.

[@jboneill]

thanks!! i was so hyped checking everything out for the first time!

[@lucasmtbwake3774]

That video was sick! Can't wait for the boat reveal!

[@jboneill]

Next video!

[@joetaber8259]

Great video! Thanks for the tour.

[@jboneill]

was pretyy epic there!

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

Pretty cool to see the ram fill ballast, I don't own one of these, but through where I work I do winterize one of these every year.

[@reesehuntiii3070]

Great video. Always interesting to see how a boat is built. BTW, Shell is Awesome we lover her down here in South Texas.

[@jboneill]

yesss tell her i say she's the best

[@Jonathan_Camps]

This is sick! Cool to see how these boats come to be. We bought our Ri237 used but its cool to know its been through this process!

[@jboneill]

so sick how it all comes together!

[@LevLemkov]

what a beauties have a seen today! thanks, jb, 't was quite interesting report!

[@jboneill]

was so dope seeing it all built!

[@stebo9780]

So nice to watch 👌🏼 so interesting to see how this sick boats are built 😮

[@jboneill]

So insane how many people are grinding to get these boats done

[@cooper29908]

hella hella hella dope it was awesome

[@jboneill]

Thanks!!!

[@237racing3]

Great vid JB!

[@jboneill]

Thanks so much!!!

[@hunt2010]

I am so excited for you. Fun fact, Correct Craft owns Nautique and Centurion. That is why Centurion and Nautique are such great boats

[@jboneill]

100% true

[@craigmolson1407]

Can’t wait to see this thing out on the lake

[@jboneill]

hyped on it

[@Thegaminglender]

[@beejel9628]

Great vid bro I’m from Fresno and had no idea centurion was here now we just need a cable park!

[@jboneill]

a cable would be dope! id move there if they built one

[@frankfields8813]

It’s actually in Merced, but he never mentions that.

[@vliegfietsmeneer]

Sick!

[@jboneill]

Was so cool seeing it all happen!

[@Travis8126]

Thanks for the tour. Do you know how many boats Centurion is producing each year ?

[@jboneill]

Oh man I think it was something like 2000-2500 per year

[@milwmarc1]

Thanks , Wow this had to take you a lot of time and the production level is fantastic it almost makes me want to make me a Centurion Guy? my next boat after delivery of my 2022 Tige

[@jboneill]

oh hell yes! the boats are insane!!

[@nicholasastleford5880]

Welcome to the Tigé family. You can take a tour of their factory as well, if you haven't already. It's a really cool experience to see it up close and personal.

[@milwmarc1]

@@nicholasastleford5880 I have a 2020 21 ZX. Looked at moving over to Supra for 2022...took deep dive's into there construction and preferred the value/cost/fantastic wave on my Tige. Looked at Centurion..and they are SICK but zero dealer support on Wisconsin for repairs/servicing. So ordered a 2022 Z3. It showed up in November and since that's winter here in Wisconsin I haven't even seen it as it's still shrink-wrapped till April. $130,000 boat paid for and I haven't touched it.

[@savchuktaras]

@@nicholasastleford5880where is the factory located?

[@joshlipe6428]

Super cool, when did you make this video? I may have spied our boat. Thanks for the tour!

[@jboneill]

maybe like 5 days ago 'ish

[@LOWLIFE891]

Omg sick bro and can you come 1 time to burnside cable park in the summmer

[@jboneill]

I want to this summer!!

[@LOWLIFE891]

Cool🤪

[@jd-dc]

That was mean bro! Real interesting, and those brand new boats look so siko are they all fiberglass? No timber or anything? Even in the transom?

[@jboneill]

solid fiberglass im pretty sure! aside from maybe the engine mounts? there was so much going on its hard for me to remember

[@jamesstafford6192]

The dude who drove the boat looked like he’s done that once or twice.

[@jboneill]

hahaha trueee

[@mariobecerra4461]

He has 😎

[@lucaspetrich4006]

Hey JB, which hoodie are you wearing in that vid, I love it. 😉 btw: Have you ever been in Austria wakeboarding?

pretty wild!

Ah only few hours away from me

[@jboneill]

bruhhh

[@SteveFordham1]

Any idea how long it takes for a boat to be made from start to finish?

[@jboneill]

a few days i think, im not really sure

[@DJStroble]

Are you going to wakeboard in Cali?

[@jboneill]

I’m already back in Texas!

[@jboneill]

But soon I will

[@galensk]

Way to go JB 👍👍, great content, …. Watched it 3 times … so interesting… maybe a follow up on your boat and delivery would be nice too 💪💪💪👍

[@jboneill]

boat has been delivered :)))

[@americanrambler4972]

I liked the video overall. But you kaleidoscope speed flashing through the color samples was really annoying because I did not really have a chance to get a decent look at them and just how nice they are. We did not get a chance to see just how nice these boats really are. Lots of nice details of the boats just flashed by. The metal flake blue hull was stunning! Glad to see bright colors instead of everything being a shade of gray or black. Now I am going back and rerun the interesting parts in 1/4 speed to see if I can get a good look at the interesting bits.

[@jboneill]

ill try and do better next time!

[@mikeshipway5990]

Fisherman metal flake is what's up

[@jboneill]

Yuhhh so sickk

[@adamwaz5615]

How do they stop the paint from sticking to the mould? That fascinates me so much how that's done.

[@jboneill]

I believe it was waxed with mold release wax. I’m not an expert, so you’d definitely have to look that up for the perfect answer

[@adamwaz5615]

@@jboneill so do they pray the layers of gel coat in the mould first followed by the colour after that?

[@peglegtoo]

@@adamwaz5615 The dyes are added to the gel coat so it is the color. Followed by the fiberglass layers. Its all layered up before each preceding layer dries so it becomes chemically one piece/structure.

[@adamwaz5615]

@@peglegtoo so do they do that process 9 times as in 9 layers of gel coat? That seems very labour intensive. That would be awesome to see 🤙

[@peglegtoo]

@@adamwaz5615 I think Hulls are usually just a couple of colors. They tape it off to create the graphics/ where they want one color to end and the next to begin. each section is then sprayed the prescribed color ( some graphics are also vinyl stickers added later as well) . Then yes, the rest of the hull is layered up fiberglass, I am not sure how many layers but I would think 5 or 6 anyway. its incredibly labor intensive. the benefit, because each previous layer is not fully cured the next layer bonds chemically to it so its incredibly strong. I am not sure what gel coat is but I think of it as colored resin.

[@basicdude6348]

pause it at 3:47 and it looks like the nikey logo

[@jboneill]

Lol

[@024xp]

weird. i had no idea the build boats from the outside towards the inside. lol
