ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Please keep this Operator’s Manual on-board for future reference and pass it
along to the new owner if you ever decide to sell the boat.
This manual has been written as a general guide to safe operating practices,
boating regulations and maintenance techniques for recreational boating.
This manual is not intended to be used as a replacement for specific information
and procedures covered in manuals provided by the manufacturer of the engine,
trailer and other major equipment.
Suppliers of some of the major components in your boat provide care and
operation information that has been included with your boat in your Owner’s
Information Kit. Read the information in this manual and the information in the
Owner’s Information Kit completely before operating your boat or any equipment.
Figure 1-1
Because we are constantly working toward product improvement, this manual is
intended to be a general guide only. The illustrations used in this manual may not
exactly match the equipment on your boat; they are intended only as general
reference views.
If this is your first time owning or operating a boat, it is recommended that you
contact your dealer or local boating agency to find out how to enroll in a boater
safety course prior to operating the boat.

ABOUT YOUR NEW BOAT
Boat Terminology
You should understand, learn and use appropriate and common nautical
terminology while boating to ensure your safety and the safety of others. See
Glossary of Nautical Terms on page 14-1 for additional boating terminology.

Construction and Features
Construction begins outside-in, with our Integrated Composite System (ICS). ICS
is a 100% composite design that makes each Centurion Boat strong and uses a
three-piece construction process — hull, inner liner and deck. During construction,
gelcoat colors and full-contour graphics are sprayed into the molds, which ensure
that Centurion tow boats’ accents and graphics last all the way to the horizon.
After the gelcoat and fiberglass are applied and dried, giving the three ICS
components solid form, the deck, hull and liner are removed from their molds and
placed together. First, the inner liner is placed into the hull and bonded using a
material called Plexus®, which fuses fiberglass, creating an unbreakable seal. The
