Top-of-the-line in everything from performance to luxury describes the Supra SL. The fact that Supra leverages technology is evident in the hull design, in the wave- and wake-shaping systems, and even in the seat upholstery, which is crafted from Chill Tech—a vinyl that remains cool in dark sun—meaning the SL’s killer interiors not only look great, but they are also easy to enjoy. Scroll down and discover more about this category-topping towboat.

Centurion’s Ri230 delivers world-class wakes while endowing prestige, stunning style and class-leading luxury.

The deepest in the industry, it helps boost wave and wake size while smoothing rough water. The optimized rear corner lifting pads and increased hook help the boat run level and efficiently through the water. Feature-laden, the Ri230 deserves your attention. Scroll down for more.

Some boatbuilders talk value. Supreme delivers it. Seats are upholstered in Spradling’s Comfort Strong marine vinyl and constructed to stand up to heavy-duty use. The S220 can carry up to 4,400 pounds of ballast and seats 14. Standard trailer, standard Zero Off speed control, and the new EZ-V hull design ensure that value is measured in owner satisfaction on and off the lake.

This boat seats 14, can carry up to 4,400 pounds of ballast, and carries 70 gallons of fuel. Power choices from GM Marine by PCM range to 465 foot-pounds of torque.

The same feature that provides Supreme with a smoother ride in chop than other boats is the same feature that helps it deliver superior wakes and waves. The S220’s modified deep-V hull carries 20 degrees of deadrise angle at the transom. That is twice the deadrise of other boats, and it works in concert with the EZ-V running surface to build a truly superior riding experience. Now that’s smooth.

Because sound and vibration will physically wear you down and take away from your enjoyment time on the water, Supreme set out to chase down every rattle, hum, and decibel. From its hull design to its construction process to its implementation of technology such as the patented Silent Stinger wake-plate exhaust system, the Supreme S220 runs quieter than other boats by a difference that can be measured—and heard.
