You are about to step into the boat that Waterski Magazine rated as the highest in its class of any model tested.  The T5 is Centurion’s flagship tournament waterski model, with a USA Water Ski record approved hull; and, as you can see, the T5 has an aura that just beams pure performance.  When you sit in the T5, you see the styling and quality that you see in every boat in the Centurion line, but, this time, with a more prominent presence of 3-event supremacy.  The T5 is about as hardcore as a pure bread slalom boat can get, and, as you look around more, you will see why.
 

As you start at the rear, you notice the T5 comes standard with a removable back passenger seat for increased driver visibility.  You also can feel the same high-grade 43mm vinyl standard in each and every Centurion model.  You also see the deep storage compartment under the observer’s seat and, after lifting the engine hatch, the powerful 330 HP Mercruiser 5.7L Black Scorpion MPI engine – delivering incredible power out of the hole.  The driver’s seat gets your heart pumping, but, when you fire up the engine and take the T5 for a spin, your adrenaline really starts to rush.

            Because of the compact size of the T5 and the USA Water Ski record approved hull, you can turn on a dime and track like the boat is on rails.  While driving the T5, you feel more like you are in a Porsche 911 Turbo than in a boat; but, then again, it’s not just any boat.  Punch the throttle all the way down and you quickly find out the truth behind the T5 – it is built purely for performance.

            As you hop into the water, you start to see what all the hype is about.  You heard that the T5 is the highest rated boat in its class in Waterski Magazine, and, as you charge through the wake at full speed, you are not disappointed.  Small wakes and minimal spray are to be expected behind the T5, and your expectations have been met.
 

In addition to the incredible ski wakes, the wakeboard wake behind the T5 is better than you may expect.  With a deeper V than that which is typically seen on tournament direct drives, the T5 has the ability to throw out decent wakeboard wakes at lower speeds.  The T5 also handles rough water better than your typical inboard boat.  It is because of these features that the T5 received the highest overall rating of any boat in its class in the Waterski Magazine Boat Buyers Guide.  Did we happen to mention it all is put together in an affordable package?  If you are looking for a true tournament performer, with a bit of an edge, the T5 is exactly what you are looking for.
