Wake Surfing Competitions Manufacturing Momentum for Centurion Boats
The wake surfing community was formed by a water sport that Centurion Boats popularized. It is the buy-in of these dedicated enthusiasts that has pushed Centurion to become the World's best wake surf boat. This group sold out to the fun, camaraderie and empowerment wake surfing provides. Because of this they have taken the Centurion brand and wake surfing competition to new heights. The wake surf community's feedback and support has played a large role in the momentum Centurion is currently experiencing.
Centurion started competitive wake surfing in 1996, just after the release of The Wave. The first full World Wake Surfing Championship was held at Lake Yosemite in Merced, CA. The evolution of Centurion surf boat models started on a path of steep progress during this time and haven't slowed down since.
Competitions help us market and sell Centurion boats. Athletes come to compete and potential customers bring their children to compete. They have the opportunity to surf behind a Centurion as well as talk with other competitors who own the boats over several days. Before they know it, they buy a Centurion. In some cases, they become a brand ambassador or sponsored team rider. Some have even been hired as employees, like Ken Scribner, who is now the Centurion & Supreme Team Manager.
In 2023 we accepted the daunting task of creating and running the Centurion World Series of Wake Surfing, thanks in no small part to a group of our ambassadors. They helped us organize and run the competitions. With their partnership we were able to continue to manufacture Centurion momentum on the water all over the World. We have now partnered with the WWA to administer the World Series of Wake Surfing and the World Wake Surfing Championship.
The 2025 season of the World Series of Wake Surfing has proved to create more brand momentum than ever before thanks to the WWA and support from our top tier dealers. Our 2025 World Series of Wake Surfing stops consistently filled up within 24 hours and the on-site crowds were huge. The livestream consistently had 2,000 to 4,000 views. In October we will be hosting our 29th Centurion World Wake Surfing Championship in Winter Haven, FL. This WWSC will be combined with an Owners Reunion, Water Proof Tour demos and a special product unveiling to commemorate our 50th Anniversary.
We are continuing to manufacture momentum with wake surfing competitions. Are you? If you would like more information about your dealership hosting a 2026 World Series of Wake Surfing stop please email amauzy@centurion-supreme.com.

September DNL - President's Letter
Dear Dealers,
September has been a heavy month for our country. We have seen division among our people, the shock of a political assassination, the remembrance of September 11th, and the heartbreak of a school shooting. These moments remind us how fragile life can be, and how important it is to hold close what really matters.
In times like these, many people search for a place to find peace, healing, and connection. That is where we as a company and you as our partners play such a unique role. We do not simply build and sell boats. We create a pathway to something that people desperately need right now: time on the water. There is a reason being near the water feels different. Scientists call it “blue mind,” a calm and healing state that comes when people spend time on lakes, rivers, and oceans. It slows the heart rate, lowers stress, and brings families and friends closer together. Out on the water, people laugh more, they talk more, and they remember what is truly important. In a world that often feels overwhelming, that escape matters more than ever.
Every Centurion and Supreme boat you place in the hands of a customer is more than a product. It is an invitation to slow down, to connect, and to restore. It is a chance for a family to pull away from the noise of the world and spend time together. It is a moment for a child to learn to surf or ski, for parents to cheer from the back of the boat, or for friends to watch a sunset that feels like it was painted just for them. These are the kinds of memories that bring hope and light in difficult times and that is why your work matters so much. You are not just selling boats. You are helping people find moments of peace when the world feels divided. You are giving families the tools to create memories they will carry with them forever. And you are making an impact that goes far beyond a sale or a season.
At the same time, we know that true healing does not come from boats, lakes, or any physical thing. While the water offers rest and renewal, lasting peace can only be found in Christ. He is the one who heals hearts, restores hope, and gives meaning beyond what this world can offer. What we provide through boating is a doorway to connection and joy, but the deeper healing and purpose come from Him alone.
As we move through the rest of this month and into the fall, let us keep this bigger purpose in mind. The boats we build and sell represent more than horsepower and features. They represent connection, healing, and joy. Together, we have the privilege of putting people in a place where they can experience the water, experience blue mind, and be reminded that true peace is only found in Christ.
Thank you for everything you do to carry this mission forward. Our nation may be facing challenges, but we have an opportunity to provide a space where families can heal, and communities can come together. That is something worth fighting for, and I am proud to be doing it alongside you.
God Bless,
Daniel Indelicato

Centurion & Supreme Boats Welcomes New Partner-Dealer of BoardCo – Mark’s Marine
(August 28, 2025) Hayden, ID--Centurion & Supreme Boats is proud to welcome Mark’s Marine, a premier North Idaho dealership, as our newest partner-dealer of BoardCo. With deep community roots, a long-standing commitment to service excellence, Mark’s Marine is set to bring the thrill of Centurion and Supreme surf boats to boating enthusiasts across the Inland Northwest.
Founded in Minnesota in 1970 by Mark Gagnier, Mark’s Marine began as a small service-focused operation before putting down roots in Idaho in 1982. Over the years, it has grown into a full-scale dealership with a 20,000-square-foot showroom, 10 acres of paved facilities, and a dedicated team of certified technicians. Today, under the leadership of President, Aaron Thykeson, Mark’s Marine has built a reputation for excellence in fishing boats, pontoons, and now wake surf boats.
“Our primary focus has always been service,” said Aaron. “It’s our claim to fame. We’ve won multiple service awards, and everything we do is about taking care of the customer first. Because of our focus on great customer experiences we look for great brands to partner with, which is what drew us to Centurion.”
The opportunity to join the Centurion and Supreme network came sooner than expected. “We originally planned 2027 to be our start date for offering surf boats,” Aaron explained, “but the synergy with BoardCo. and the opportunity to align with Centurion and Supreme’s technology and quality made this the perfect time.”
Located just north of Hayden, Idaho, right off Highway 95, Mark’s Marine offers easy access to the region’s lakes and boating communities. In addition to serving recreational boaters, the dealership also works closely with local tribes, sheriffs, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to service their vessels, highlighting its deep ties to the community.
“We’re excited to get people behind the wheel of a Centurion or Supreme and show them what these boats can do,” said Aaron.
"Mark's Marine represents exactly the kind of partner we look for – a dealership with deep community roots and an unwavering commitment to customer service," said Mitch Mann, CEO of BoardCo. "Their 40-year track record of excellence in the marine industry makes them the perfect choice to represent Centurion and Supreme boats in north Idaho and eastern Washington. Together, we're bringing world-class towboats and the expertise to support them to families who want to make the most of their time on the water."
As a partner-dealer of BoardCo, Mark’s Marine will share BoardCo’s proven marketing systems and operational support while bringing decades of hands-on expertise and award-winning service to customers in North Idaho and beyond.

Manufacturing Momentum Throttle Down
"This is our time!" We have a unique opportunity right now to increase the notoriety of our brands. These brands include your dealerships as well as Centurion & Supreme Boats. This increased brand awareness will sell more boats for us all. We have created this opportunity by manufacturing our own momentum despite, and in some cases because of, the current economic conditions. Now comes the hard part. You can't take your hand off the throttle! Our competitors are continuing to try and catch us, so we must pull farther ahead.
We must continue to manufacture momentum from the success we are currently enjoying. We can't pat ourselves on the backs or swap stories about how good we were yesterday. We need to invent new ways to inspire action-taking enthusiasm in everyone who is associated, or who we want associated, with our brands.
How do we continue manufacturing momentum? Start collecting current victories that provide direct benefit and/or confidence to a retail customer. You can replace "retail customer" with anyone you are looking to inspire action-taking enthusiasm in. And in many cases the stories that resonate with retail customers will also inspire employees and other partners. Communicate these stories at every opportunity, in conversation, on social media, with ads and in marketing materials.
There is no better current victory story than the Ri245 being the most sold 24-foot boat in the US Ski Wake segment. Additionally, the Centurion Ri245 is the third most sold wake boat in the United States overall behind the G23 and the 23 LSV. We should all be shouting this story of victory from the roof tops. It screams momentum. This story can instill confidence in existing Centurion enthusiasts as well as capture new interest and sales.
https://centurionboats.com/news/most-sold-24-foot-boat-in-the-ski-wake-segment-the-centurion-ri245/
Other Centurion & Supreme Boats stories that will help you continue to manufacture momentum in your area could include any of these:
https://centurionboats.com/news/50-for-50-the-foundation-of-centurion-boats/
https://centurionboats.com/news/honoring-with-innovation-centurion-boats-50th-anniversary/

https://centurionboats.com/news/centurion-boats-and-operation-wake-surf-honor-heroes-with-salute-to-service-event-on-south-holston-lake/
This is why I am writing this section of the dealer newsletter each month. We have limited time to capitalize on the current market conditions and increase our share. We cannot stop to congratulate ourselves on the last sale or the last market share report. We have to continue to manufacture momentum. "This is our time!" Let's all constantly communicate the benefits our customers, employees and other partners currently enjoy.

August DNL: President's Letter
Dear Valued Partners,
As we move through the heart of the season, I want to take a moment to thank you for your hard work, dedication, and the positive energy you continue to bring to the Centurion and Supreme brands. The feedback from customers has been strong, and that is a direct reflection of the way you represent our boats in your markets.
This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. This milestone is not only a chance to honor our history but also to showcase why our boats remain the most innovative and reliable choice on the water today. Over the next year, you will see new anniversary-themed marketing assets. I encourage you to use them in your showrooms, at local events, and across your online platforms to capture attention and drive engagement.
We are also continuing to make product and service improvements. Recent adjustments to our software and electrical quality checks are already delivering positive results. We will share more updates as we implement additional refinements throughout the remainder of the year.
With summer demand still strong, now is a great time to focus on turning your leads into closed sales before the season winds down. Keep your teams energized, follow up quickly with interested buyers, and take full advantage of the marketing materials and resources we are providing to support you.
Thank you for your continued commitment to our brands and for the way you represent Centurion and Supreme in your communities. Together, let’s finish the summer strong and carry that momentum into the months ahead.
God Bless,
Daniel Indelicato

Centurion & Supreme Boats Welcomes New Dealer – Oakland County Boat Sales
(July 28, 2025) Highland, MI—Centurion & Supreme Boats is proud to announce Oakland County Boat Sales as their newest dealer. Since opening it’s doors on November 1, 2019, OKC owner, Kyle Potocki, outgrew two locations and is now in his largest location to date in Highland, Michigan.
Oakland County Boat Sales (OKC) grew from a regional boat broker to a nationwide watersports dealer and locator for customers across the country. Word spread quickly from happy customers about the dedicated team support customers received during and after the sale. After adding on a new pontoon line in 2021, OKC is excited to partner with Centurion and Supreme to elevate the customer experience for the watersports market in the Detroit area.
“As we’ve grown, we needed to be able to grow to serve our customers and employees as they grow too,” Potocki shares. “The timing was right and there was a hole in our market where customers wanted the best wake surf waves and world class customer experience from a dealer who cares. This is perfect timing and a great opportunity to partner with a team that is as customer centric as we are.”
OKC is known for their “mom and pop” store vibe. Throughout the company, the employees have a passion for watersports and taking care of customers and maintaining relationships well past the purchase of a boat.
“I’m not here to sell you a boat, I’m here to sell you the next five. We are passionate about serving our area and our community. There are a lot of dealerships in the area who helped build the wake boat community in the country and even though we’re the younger wave in our community, we have the passion for growth,” Potocki shares.
Potocki has built a strong team at OKC. JP, who runs everything back of house, brings a wealth of over 40 years of experience to the dealership.
“My sales team and I love meeting new customers and getting them in the right boat all while creating great relationships. JP and our service team handle service, warranty, and admin to make purchasing from us seamless and as enjoyable as possible. This industry is our passion, and we always push for growth and elevating our customer experience. We work well together,” Potocki says.
OKC is heavily involved in their community. The dealership sponsors a charity event hosted by former Detroit Redwings player, Joe Kocur’s. The charity gives back to children in the community. In addition, OKC employs high school kids in the community and has plans to partner with a local school to help kids get jobs and jumpstart their careers.
“We are honored as a manufacturer to partner with a passionate group to grow watersports and bring family and friends together to create memories to last a lifetime. From sales to service, winterization, and beyond OKC is the total package. This will be the beginning of a great partnership that will serve the Detroit market with the best boating experience possible. OKC will carry our “Making Life Better” creed to all those they serve,” Nate Reid, Centurion & Supreme Boats Eastern Sales Manager states.

Manufacturing Momentum With Team
The Centurion & Supreme Boats Team of Athletes and Ambassadors has created much of the momentum we enjoy today. By partnering with high-integrity individuals and their families who share our passion for water sports our team has grown into an army of brand building warriors who prioritize making lives better especially for their local dealer.
Ken Scribner, Centurion & Supreme Boats Team Manager, helps train our team to be a value to our brands as well as their local dealer's brand. Ken orchestrates regular calls with the team and is available to talk with our family of athletes and ambassadors as well as their dealers to continue to fan the fire of momentum our team creates.
I received an amazing example of the momentum our team is creating last month. Ryan Lacefield from Bohner Lacefield Marine texted us a video walk-around of an Ri245. This was a boat that he loaned to the Hickey Family for Team Centurion's Pro Surfer Kenzie Hickey. In the video he was extremely complimentary of the boat's condition upon return.
"They take such great care of the boats when they have them. Showroom condition..." Ryan raved!
Although this level of care is expected when using a 250k plus boat, Ryan's dealership is experiencing real momentum from his team partnerships, like with the Hickeys.
When Kenzie and her family came to pick-up their new 2025 Ri230, they shot an Instagram reel, they later posted. After seeing this reel, a potential customer reached out to Ryan interested in learning more about Bohner Lacefield Marine and Centurion Boats. This particular customer was in the market for a surf boat, but had only been looking at Malibu and Tige to this point. He did not begin to consider Centurion Boats until seeing the walkthrough the Hickeys posted on her new boat because this customer follows Kenzie on Instagram.
She’s arrived! 🩵 It’s so fun to see what you’ve built online come to life, and this Mist Blue and White 2025 @centurionboats Ri230 turned out gorgeous. We had a blast unwrapping this beauty with @lacefield26 as we took delivery at @bohnerlacefieldmarine yesterday.
Our gratitude and love for @centurionboats @lacefield26 and @bohnerlacefieldmarine is more than we could ever express. Thank you for ALL of your support over the years and being apart of this journey we call life! From our family to yours, time to make memories on the water! 🫶🏼
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKXHg0-xBtD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
This customer made the trip to Fresno, CA to visit Bohner Lacefield Marine on Father's Day Weekend and left a deposit on a 2025 Centurion Fe25. Ryan Lacefield is leveraging the Centurion & Supreme Boats Team to manufacture momentum in his business. Are you manufacturing momentum?

July 2025 DNL: President’s Letter
Dear Valued Partners,
We are right in the middle of the summer season, and this is where the rubber truly meets the road. Boats are on the water, customers are out enjoying what you have worked hard to deliver, and this time of year continues to be our greatest opportunity to make a lasting impact.
In the middle of all the summer chaos, I want to pause and thank each of you for what you do. I know firsthand how much effort goes into making a sale, prepping a boat, managing service demands, and keeping your customers happy. It is no small task, and your commitment does not go unnoticed. Every one of you plays a vital role in building and protecting the reputation of Centurion and Supreme.
This season also brings something extra special. We have officially begun building our Model Year 2026 boats, and with it, we kick off a year-long celebration of 50 years of Centurion Boats. That is half a century of innovation, craftsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect ride. This milestone would not be possible without dealer partners like you who have helped shape this legacy year after year.
While the overall market continues to present challenges, you continue to push forward with energy and professionalism. Whether it is hosting local events, delivering exceptional handoff experiences, or helping a customer understand what sets our boats apart, the work you are doing truly matters.
Our job at the manufacturing level is to support you. That means better communication, faster answers, improved parts availability, and a consistent focus on helping you close deals and build long-term customer loyalty. We are not just here to build boats. We are here to build confidence in our partnership with you. We are listening, and we are working hard every day to earn your continued trust.
As we look to close out the summer strong, I encourage you to stay close to your customers, lean on our team when you need help, and keep sharing feedback. Thank you again for believing in Centurion and Supreme. I am proud of where we are, and even more excited about where we are headed together.

2026 Photo Shoot Momentum
We just finished with our 4th photo shoot gathering photography and video content for model year 2026. I have been a part of 27 years of photo shoots in this industry and I have learned they can either slightly accentuate momentum or completely stop it. I have never been a part of a shoot that seems to create its own. This year I am seeing this miracle of the marine industry take place. We are manufacturing momentum at photo shoots!
Photo shoots are simply a pain in the butt! They take months to plan, require the coordination of upwards of 50 people, not to mention a dozen boats, and can be brought to a full stop by a number of extenuating circumstances of which we normally don't have any control. This year we have dealt with bad weather, Golden Muscle checks, talent/ athlete/ crew delays, boat challenges and lack of accommodations. These challenges do not take into account the normal rigors of a boat photo shoot, like being at the dock each morning by 4:50am and not heading to bed each night until 11 at the earliest. Plus somewhere in the middle of all of these challenges we need to execute our strategy for creating the content that will allow us to market Centurion and Supreme boats to create opportunities for boat sales through the next model year.
In spite all of this potential for difficulty, Centurion and Supreme brand momentum is being continually creating by our photo shoot team. This instrumental team begins with the Marketing Department, Ancelle Contreras, Ken Scribner, Taylor Manzanedo and Alexis Machado. The preparation and dedicated follow-through of this team serves as the example for everyone else who participates in a shoot. They lead by example and through service while making sure we accomplish the goal of creating content that showcases the customer benefits our boats provide to create enthusiasm for our brands. I know they are all amazing leaders because they manage to create enthusiasm with the rest of the photo shoot team in the midst of never-ending challenges.
The entire Marketing Team prepares for the photo shoots months ahead of time with a marketing plan that grows into a detailed shot list with very specific talent and location specifications. At the photo shoot, Ancelle manages the photo crew, while Ken, our cowboy-of-all-trades, drives the chase boat or the truck for photos. Taylor manages our amazing video crew during very long days on the water and Alexis moves back and forth between the two crews, when she is not facilitating meals and other accommodations. They do all of this while managing their daily Marketing tasks. All four of them would also say that they couldn't do what they do without the unbelievable factory support they receive. From having Devin Wahlberg and Zach Haubrich in Product Development to Tino Chavez towing boats back and forth to Lavon Wallace prioritizing photo boat production with his crew, our factory team plays a huge part in the momentum of a photo shoot.
The partners we entrust Centurion & Supreme Boats content creation to are more like family than business associates. I have worked with Devon Uderitz, our art director, Rob Snow, our still photographer, and Dale Goff, our studio photographer, for 25 plus years. They are incredible individuals and amazingly talented, but they will be the first to tell you that photo shoots can wreck brand momentum and especially team moral. Bill McCaffray and Cole Vanthof from Alliance are newer partners, but they are no strangers to boat photo shoots and the challenges. Cole is a gifted videographer, but if conditions are not created for him to capture the footage he needs, video production sentiment goes downhill fast.
These partners are seasoned veterans when it comes to boat photo shoots, they have extremely high expectations and know there is a high probability of failure if a shoot is run poorly. Each of these discerning partners have made individual comments to me during these last four photo shoots praising the Centurion & Supreme Boats Team on a job well done. And I guess that could be seen as lip service since we are paying them, but considering their levels of production and demeanors during the shoots, I know their praise is genuine. Thanks to the efforts of our Marketing, PD&E and Production Teams these artists are able to execute the strategy we have laid out and they are excited about the content they are creating. This enthusiasm is infectious and it creates momentum that not only permeates the photo shoots themselves, but extends well into post production and publishing.
When photo and video crews are feeling this level of stoke in such challenging circumstances it infects our photo and video subjects with same enthusiasm. We would not have any content to capture without our dedicated team of athletes and in many cases their families. Ken and Alexis have coordinated approximately 40 of our athletes and their families to attend the on-water shoots. They take time out of their busy schedules to help us capture pro-level wake surfing, wakeboarding and lifestyle content centered around our boats. These athletes and their family members also help us keep the boats in tip top shape through the photo shoot by loading, unloading, cleaning, gassing and helping us maintain the boats. The entire Centurion & Supreme Boats photo shoot family also helps organize and cook meals. It is truly a team effort!
Thank you Team Centurion!

After having been with this group through the thick and thin of the photo shoot, I know it is this team that manufactures momentum for Centurion & Supreme Boats. The photos and video are of course incredible and they create momentum, but it is stories of tribulation and triumph that we all share after the shoot is over that grows our momentum exponentially!
It takes all of us and I could not be more proud to be a part of the Centurion & Supreme Boats Team continuing to manufacture momentum! I hope you all continue to tell these stories of manufacturing momentum so we can keep this thing going! Thank you all for everything you do to make lives better!
