Centurion CP wake

[Cent]

Can anyone compare the wake on the Carbon Pro to the wake on the centurion eclipse. Have used the latter but not the CP

[Horton]

I don't know what the ellipse is but the Carbon Pro has a wake as small or smaller than any boat in the industry

I have a 1992 centurion falcon I ski behind and the wake is minimal. Haven't skied a CP yet but want to. As for the 200's and Prostars mine is not that much different considering the technology. Guys that ski newer boats have skied behind mine and said there is more, I just tell them they are stuck up... Just kidding ha ha

I don't know what a Centurion Ellipse is either. But I do know the Centurion Eclipse is a v-drive circa 2001. That being said, and I've never skied either boats, I can guarantee the CP is the superior of the two.

I will take the Carbon Pro wake all day long. I usually ski well with it. Also, I drove some kids at a tournament a month ago. The B1 skier worked up the rope from 26 mph to 4@28 off at 30 mph - a new PB by a good margin. Some girls started as low as 19 mph. One skied to within a couple buoys of PB.

Sucks for tricks. But all the new boats do. The Centurion trick wake is too small but shaped well. I haven't gotten it right with weights but haven't tried too hard. I did have some good tournament runs behind them.

Thanks everyone. To be clear my Eclipse is not a v drive. The v drives were a different boat. My eclipse has an excellent slalom wake and that is why I am trying to see what difference there may be.

Lots of carbon pro guys on here. I'm sure most are like me and would be happy to give you a pull if you are interested. Wakes on it are very small at all speeds and line lengths that I've tried. I think it is tough to find fault in any of the current boats on the market at 34/36 mph. The Carbon Pro is no exception and skis fantastic.

Love the wakes on my CP. One of the main reasons I purchased the boat!

[Ilivetoski]

We just bought one after finding an issue with z box on our Malibu that we couldn't figure out how to fix. Skied about 5 sets or so behind it and ran 7 32 offs. That's 7 more 32s than I ran in the past 6 weeks behind the Malibu. It's such a nice boat and drives awesome. 10/10 recommend it

I drive the Carbon Pro quite a bit in tournaments and it's the boat that gets the most "The wake on this boat is great" comments from skiers at all speeds and rope lengths. I don't ski the longer lines, but for me, the 34mph/28off wake is the flattest and easiest to cross of any tournament boat I've ever skied behind. Others are close, but this one makes you want to look back over your shoulder and say "was there a wake at all?"

[LeonL]

But @Roger don't you think it's kinda tough drive if you've got a hard puller?

[Horton]

@LeonL coming from something like a 200 it's certainly an adjustment but I find that most drivers settle in pretty quickly and like it.

 

Hell I drive @rico w/ my CP and he is a beast

[Roger]

I love driving the CP. Yes, it takes more input and more "preset" than a 200 particularly off the 1,3,5 side, but it's very drivable if you're on top of it. I pulled Nick Parsons last year to 3@41 and that guy can leverage a boat. The 200 does still have the edge in tracking, but the other three boats have realy closed the gap in the last couple of years IMO.

[bigskieridaho]

Just skied behind a CP two days ago for the first time and it is by far the one of the best wakes ever! Have yet to drive one, but have heard they take a little more to drive. After skiing behind it, that will be my next boat for sure!

[Ilivetoski]

@rico what do you mean "light on the wheel"? Don't over correct?
