In the realm of luxurious ski and wakeboard boats, the 2023 Centurion Boat Ri Series Ri265 consistently stands out, setting the bar high regarding performance and functionality. As an avid watersports aficionado, I am thoroughly impressed by the ingenuity put into designing this aquatic marvel by Centurion Boats.
The Ri265, as per my thorough examination, possesses considerable attributes that make it not only a head-turner but also an on-water performer. For starters, it features a powerful 450lb-ft 6.0L HO engine that can confidently tackle any marine challenge thrown its way. Even more fascinating, the boat comes with Navionics US and Canada Maps for Touch Revo SxS HD GPS Mapping, ensuring you never lose your way amid the waves. Moreover, the boat flaunts bilateral Pumped Sub-Floor Ballast (port and starboard) and a bow tank for stability and smooth rides.
The Centurion "Stinger" wake plate and rear-view mirror further exemplify the boat's detailed-oriented design backup for wakeboarding and skiing. And for audio-music lovers, the ICE integrated Stereo Control with In-screen controls, AM/FM USB Stereo, and RECON 6" black speakers prove to be a delight.
Mecho-functionality does not end here. The Ri265 comes equipped with a Cobra Racing Driver's Seat with Swivel and Stainless Steel Flip Up Bolster, and a 2nd Battery Package with Control Center. An absolute game-changer is the addition of Billet Wireless Clamping Phone Charger by ProtoMet - A boon for tech-savvy mariners.
Regarding the physical dimensions and specifications, this model stands at an impressive 26' 6" length and 102" beam, asserting dominance on the water. It boasts a draft of 36" and a weight of 6,400lbs. The fuel capacity of 92 gallons ensures prolonged seaward voyages without constant refueling detours. Moreover, the Ri265 is yacht certified capable of accommodating a significant passenger capacity.
All in all, the elegance, performance, and ample features of Ri265 demonstrate that it offers value beyond its MSRP of $216,763. The invoice price being $166,908, it stands as a fair investment for the vast variety of functionality, comfort, and class the boat proposes.
To conclude, the Centurion Boats 2023 Centurion Boat Ri Series Ri265 is undoubtedly an epitome of watersport boats in 2023. It brings forth a mix of extraordinary performance factors, comfort, and stylish aesthetics - a package hard to resist!

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
