Family

    Centurion calls the Sport Bowrider an entry-level family and ski boat. Key there is the “and” because this is more than just the family cruiser. It has a serious slalom design. It’s safe to say the Sport Bowrider, a direct descendent of the legendary Falcon hull, offers solid water-sports performance.       
    The Sport Bowrider features a hull design that towed the U.S. Nationals and U.S. Open when it was first released as the Falcon. Its wake is excellent for slalom and it’s incredible to drive. With a traditional hull design and 88-inch beam, this sleek design produces a narrow wake. Its open bow is fairly deep and the boat features excellent storage behind the passenger seat as well as under the walk-through. There are some other beneficial features such as the passenger-side personal net storage and driver’s storage pouch for glasses. The dash is simple but functional, with dual Faria tournament speedos, a tach, a small clock and a four-in-one gauge.
    This boat features some progressive looking in-gel graphics as well. This is a great-looking boat with simple features and solid performance. It’s Centurion’s combination of value and water-sports performance, and it’s even more attractive at far less than $25,000.
