So you’ve seen the pictures, you’ve heard the
hype and you know that the Enzo is the machine that creates the wave of your
dreams; but the size, luxury styling and higher price just aren’t your style
- what then? The Elite, that’s what. By taking the ultimate in wakesurf
innovation and slimming it down to a more managable size Centurion can now
offer the performance punch of the Enzo series at a more affordable value.
As you climb onto the standard fiberglass swim
platform and over the sun deck, you feel the same ultra high grade 43mm
vinyl that you would find on any other Centurion model. Open the back
storage compartments and find enough storage space to easily pack in the
gear for the 10 people that this boat is rated for. Pop the locking engine
hatch and you will find the standard Mercruiser 5.7L Black Scorpion MPI
Motor, the same engine you would find on larger Centurion models.
Once you enter the cockpit, you quickly notice the 40 oz. snap-out
carpeting sitting atop the fully integrated fiberglass floor lined with
5-layer gelcoat (the highest grade in the industry). Under each seat
you find plenty of extra storage space for wakeboards, skis, all your
gear and even a built in cooler to keep your drinks cold. You feel the
smooth lines of the standard Skylon Double Up tower as you move up front
towards the full playpen bow and, once there, comfortably stretch out.
You
are quickly about to find that the luxurious interior of the Elite-V C4,
as plush as it is, is not going to be your favorite aspect of the boat.
Once you grab your board and jump into the water, you could swear you
were on Hawaii's North Shore. With the standard ballast tank filled,
the waves are large and lots of fun to carve. The
smooth transitions feel like butter under your
heels, and the clean open curls make keeping the wave almost
effortless. You can’t ever remember having this much fun on a wave
before, but, then again, this is the first time you have been behind an
Elite-V C4.
The Elite-V C4 is an amazing combination of huge wave performance,
comfort, style, and function that you would expect to have to pay an arm
and a leg for. Luckily for you, however, Centurion has put together
this incredible package for less than many other companies sell their
“stripped down” models for. The Elite-V C4 - all that you would expect
from the Centurion name without any compromises.
