awesome for wakesurfing, and good for skating and wakeboarding, you robably get more bang for your buck for a centurion rather than a mastercraft, but if your willing to spend the money mastercrafts are of course amazing. _________________ ride a lunch tray

I own a Cyclone C4 it's the same hull as the Avalanche C4 but it's 1 ft shorter. Great boat, I really like the wake it's great for wakeskating even without the balast. It throws a preety nice wakeboarding wake, If your looking to save a couple bucks for a smaller brand name boat I would definently suggest it. |

I hate Centurion boats... Sorry owners, but I just can't stand the wakes or the layout of the boats. That being said, I haven't had much experience with that enzo one apart from sittting in it. Who knows, maybe they got it right this time. _________________

when my family went shopping for boats, we test drove every boat available in cali, and the only one that actually malfuntioned was the centurion, food for thought, what does it say about a company that they can't keep their SHOW boats running right, we ended up getting a Malibu, best effin boat ever, 23 LSV
P.S we tried a toyota too, nice workman ship, but really scary how they'd chine lock in a hard turn not ot mention the stringer problems _________________ why dont you try playing hide and go Fvck yourself |

I've got a Malibu sportser (hey, not a wakesetter but its nice) and its amazing. Very reliable boat, we've had ours for 3 years and only had one problem - the bilge pump fuse went. Very simple thing to fix. Nice huge wake. If your looking at a wakesetter i suggest one with the V-drive instead of the direct-drive. the "U" shaped seating the in back of the direct drives isnt very good - it feels like your way split off from the driver when your back there. and the seat beside the driver just feels low and you cant see much. the v-drive makes a nicer wake and keeps the seating a little better. _________________ www.sattelyte.com

ours is basically a 23 ft sunsetter with all the options that some guy backed out on and left the dealer high and dry, so my dad told them if they would put all the new stuff in that would make it a wakesetter, he would buy it instead of ordering a new wakesetter, b/c the hull is the same so basically we have a fully loaded 23 ft wakesetter lsv, perf pass, ballast, wedge, raised removeable swim step, skylon swoop tower, all the goodies, even a heater, just without the graphics, and it has nicer upholstery and stereo, it's really awesome it has a real big, solid wake. with seating and storage for everything even the kitchen sink, and it has never chinelocked or done anything funny that way, we test drove boats every weekend for 2 and a half months, and we picked the Malibu, b/c it impressed us the most. _________________ why dont you try playing hide and go Fvck yourself |

Buy a used Nautique thats the best advice i can give you, i have a 02 super air team on my dock and my buddies 04 wakesetter, i used to have a 04 X-star and it was a pile of shizzle! the old Nautique still kicks its ass oll over the place. and the wake wasint even that big with 4700lbs of added ballast in the X-star, the Nautique has a little less seating room but the quality is unmatched in my book and well to be honest i wouldint even consider a centurion for the parts that people diddint mention about them they still use wood stringers in thier boat and wood seat bottoms along with alot of other wood parts... and well we all know what wood does when it gets wet.
FYI: the super air team is for sale... _________________ arson-wake.com |

malibu is amazing i have a 21 VLX 2004 and i love it, malibu has great service too, in my opinion the ony reason you paymore for a master craft is the name, not the boat _________________ ride a lunch tray
