Centurion Carbon Pro canned?

ColeGiacopuzzi · December 8, 2016

I agree with @Horton it definitely requires more input for counter-steering but it isn't hard to drive just different.

Well unfortunately Doesn't look like I will be getting one. The boss(my wife) says if we are going to spend the money on a new boat it has to be open bow. We have young girls and still go on open lakes sometimes.....

My boss says we have to keep our open bow (04 rlxi) even though there are no kids in the house. It seems her favorite seat during sunset cruises is the bow, she's my all time best driver so she wins, life could be worse.

If you guys want a Carbon Pro open bow I think you only have to wait about another 10 months to see it.

@Colebrah behind what boat is your personal best tournament score?

ColeGiacopuzzi · December 9, 2016

@Horton Carbon pro!!! Great boat, once you settle in, its golden.

Horton · December 9, 2016

@Colebrah Hmmm me too

bigskieridaho · December 9, 2016

@Horton So the truth comes out. However I don't want to wait that long for a boat. Want to start looking by march....

Kind of confusing but, I stopped by the centurion booth at MDCE Tuesday and the reps told me the direct drive was canned. They also went on to inform me that they have several 15 and 16s at the factory he wanted us to take. So not sure here

Horton · December 9, 2016

@Kdinger838 mmmmm yea I can understand how they told you that. If what I have been told is correct there will be a new Carbon Pro (direct drive) in 2018 and what the Centurion rep told you is also true. Have fun with that.

@horton we almost became a dealer a few years ago and they keep Badgering us. Wouldn't touch them now with all the changes going on.

What @OB1 said...Supreme Carbon Pro maybe?!

rodltg2 · December 9, 2016

I was at the factory not long ago and there were no finished carbon pros there. Bummed as I wanted to see one. Was not there boat shopping but for work. I sell adhesives and my company is looking into manufacturing bonding adhesive for the marine industry. Anyway there was one carbon pro there . It was obviously getting some r&d work to it. I was told then a redesign was in the works. I don't see why they would rename it a supreme. Doesn't really matter though. They build both lines side by side in the same building. From what I was told the majority of the money savings in the supreme was in the stereo systems and ballast.

I hope their strategy works out for them, brand loyalty is pretty strong for buyers of tourney boats. Clearly evident on this forum.

The last tournament approved Supreme was the '92 Ski Supreme CS. It was actually a pretty good boat, as the first that incorporated bacwards facing steps to move water around under the boat. It was also the first hull that resulted in a little extra drag requiring extra horsepower. Mine, with a ProBoss 285 was the only one that I am aware of that actually pulled a regionals. (I swapped in a second 285 as the first didn't quite make enough power). In '93 they sent a boat to the boat test with a green 260hp Mercruiser which didn't have enough power to pass the acceleration test.
