What's the Difference Between the Centurion Vi Fi and Ri?

[@SteveSkillings]

Soooooooo helpful. Thanks for this explanation. You’ve really helped me to confirm which one is for us.

[@BoardCo]

Awesome! Which model did you decide is best for you?

[@SteveSkillings]

@@BoardCo Fi23 for sure. Best blend of features, size and cost/value. Honestly, Amy Mauzy should stop doing her videos that say the **exact same thing every time** and pay you guys to do in depth (more in depth) videos. Ohhhh, no. Now I'm ranting ... sorry. #PoliteRantOn For example, the 2020 Fi23 has a cool new rearview camera on the features list. Can you find a SINGLE video of it from Centurion, nope. But if I want to hear about the Opti V hull ... again ... I can watch their 2018, 2019 and 2020 video about the boats. I say "ugh, here we go again" every time she goes through the exact same script ... "check out these paddle shifters again, same as last year and the year before that." But your run through of the boats is super helpful from a practical (the Vi is not as deep, this bow area is this big when I sit in it) to the frilly (look at this gelcoat in daylight, see it sparkle, it's gorgeous) ... which all matters when someone is buying an expensive toy. Your videos are a much better way/style to help people to decide on options and colors. I get why Centurion can't do competitor vs. Centurion videos, that's kinda unadvisable from a branding perspective, but they should do a "light overview" and a "incredibly deep dive" vide series for each boat series. Let me geek out. I'm the customer. Customers who don't care about the features won't watch the videos. Customers who do want to geek out prefer BoardCo videos ... I guess. Data set of one. lol #PoliteRantOff . Thanks for the videos. Please do more "hey, check this cool feature out" deep dive videos both on the lot and on the water. It's such a good feeling to know that I know exactly what I'm buying ... no mystery. I seriously debated flying to Utah to look at your boats and buy one from you guys. Sorry for the long post. Keep up the good work. Please do a video of the rear view camera. ;o)

I agree

[@user-dy2qq5wh4b]

What is a one sentence summary difference between the 3? that would really help!!! thanks

[@BoardCo]

The Vi is slightly lower in profile with the same internal features as the Fi, the Fi has a unique, sporty body style with more depth/freeboard than the Vi, and the Ri is the tallest and deepest of the three models with super deep storage compartments and an over-the-top luxury fit and finish. All three models pack the optimal amount of stock ballast, have the same hull, and have the same wave customization abilities. The biggest reason to go with one model over the other is a personal preference in style, and what you're willing to spend on a new boat. For instance, the Ri comes with more expensive standard options, and the Vi and Fi have the potential to add those options, but can be ordered more basic (without lacking performance features) to save on cost if you don't care about the most expensive stereo, towere, etc. but still want the best wakesurf wave.

Can you get a ski pylon in the RI models?

[@BoardCo]

Yes you can on the Ri245 and Ri265. The Ri237 and Ri257 do not have a pylon option.

[@HeelsupKamalaandtamponTim]

Been waiting for this video. Thanks

[@BoardCo]

We'll have another video soon that goes even further in-depth between the models! Let us know if you have any other ideas for videos we can put together.

[@maixechrys6264]

Can they perform on saltwater, stock?

[@BoardCo]

You would need to do the salt water package on them if you are going to use them in salt water regularly.

[@MrDanimal77]

the price of the Roswell audio vs wetsounds it would make sense to go with wetsounds ?

[@BoardCo]

It depends on what you are looking to accomplish with stereo. The Roswell system is a great stereo but doesn't project as far as Wetsounds speakers do. If your goal is audio clarity then Roswell is your best bet for the price. If you are looking to get more sound to the rider Wetsounds can't be beat.

[@MrDanimal77]

@@BoardCo see my wetsounds were insanely clear I got comments all the time .

[@BoardCo]

@@MrDanimal77 Wetsounds are definitely clear sounding. The Roswell speakers have slightly better mid and high range where the Wetsounds are a bit louder and have more low end range.

[@jimmylori]

@@BoardCo The new 2021 Ri's will now come with wetsounds Centurion agrees they are better.

[@cheavipheakmakara]

Hi, can i have your social network account? would like to ask you something regarding to the boat. i am currently looking for a boat from USA into my country

[@samcraling868]

I agree you need a camera man it would be very helpful for your video

[@user-dy2qq5wh4b]

75% of the video was of the presenter, and not the boat features he is talking about SMH

[@jesussosa9276]

Looks like this video is more about showing your face talking as opposed to actually showing the boat
