The single USCG recall on record across 866 registered hulls suggests solid build quality for a specialized performance brand. Owner costs run higher than typical runabouts due to complex ballast systems, premium engine packages, and tower maintenance, with most boats concentrated in recent model years from 2018 to 2025. Budget for ballast pump replacements and gelcoat stress crack repairs as these boats age beyond their first few seasons.
Common problems to inspect on a used Centurion
- Ballast tank leaks and pump failures
- Gelcoat stress cracks near tower mounts and transom
- Tower hardware corrosion and hinge wear
- High engine hours from intensive wakeboard use

Frequently asked questions
Are Centurion boats reliable?
Centurion boats show solid reliability for a performance wakeboard brand, with only one USCG recall across 866 registered hulls. The main reliability concerns are ballast system complexity and tower maintenance rather than hull or engine failures.
What is the resale value of Centurion boats?
Used Centurion boats currently range from $12,000 to $27,000 with a median price of $19,000 across 148 active listings. Resale remains strong for well maintained recent models but drops sharply with high engine hours or documented ballast system issues.
What should I look for when buying a used Centurion?
Inspect the ballast system thoroughly for leaks and pump function, check gelcoat around tower mounts and the transom for stress cracks, and verify engine hours against maintenance records. Tower hardware should move smoothly without excessive play or corrosion.
How much does it cost to maintain a Centurion boat?
Maintenance costs run higher than typical runabouts due to complex ballast systems, premium engine packages, and specialized tower hardware. Major expenses include ballast pump replacements, tower hardware servicing, and gelcoat repairs on heavily used boats beyond routine engine maintenance.
