Origin and ownership
Centurion was founded in 1976 in California. The brand has had multiple owners across its history and was acquired by Correct Craft in 2018, joining Nautique under the family-held parent.
Production has stayed in Merced, California through the ownership transition.
Design philosophy
Centurion hulls use v-drive Indmar or PCM inboard rigging. The Ramfill ballast system is a brand differentiator that fills faster than typical pump-fed systems.
Surf-focused build philosophy across the lineup, with less emphasis on slalom-ski than MasterCraft or Nautique.
Used-market notes and known issues
Ramfill ballast service interval is 200 hours, replace impellers as preventive.
Indmar Monsoon raw-water pump impeller is a 100-hour item.
Tower hardware on 2017 to 2019 hulls had documented powder-coat issues.
Correct Craft parts pipeline since 2018 ownership integrates with Nautique service.
Resale
Centurion holds resale near the top of the wake segment. Three-year depreciation runs 12 to 18 percent on Ri-series hulls.
Where Centurion fits
Buyers cross-shop Centurion against MasterCraft, Malibu, and Nautique. The argument is the surf-focused build philosophy and the Ramfill ballast system.
