US Naval Academy Midshipmen Receive a New Ship

Thirty years ago, John Vorndick, Jr. moved into a home on the Severn River in Annapolis, MD and began sponsoring Midshipmen from The US Naval Acad- emy. Building a strong fraternity of graduates, Vorndick provided a home away from home for Mids attending The Academy. His home on the river became a water sports playground, including ski- ing and wakeboarding. In April, John approached Centurion to custom-order a boat for the Navymen to enjoy in their free time.

Delivered in person by Les Clark, Gen- eral Manager of Centurion’s production facility in Woodland, NC, John Vorndick took possession of his 2006 Avalanche and made the surprise presentation to the Midshipmen he is sponsoring this semester in front of the Navy Marine Corp. Memorial Stadium in the center of The Academy’s campus.

Singing Praises for Shell Buchner

Among many outstanding employees at Fineline Industries, Inc., one star shines brightest to our dealers and customers. Shell Buchner, Warranty Administrator, has been providing superior service to Centurion dealers and owners alike for more than 9 years. Recently, Rick Lee, President of Centurion Boats, received a letter from Tim Mueller of Water Ski Pro Shop in Boise, ID, complimenting Shell for “always going above and beyond the call of duty.” Tim says, “We always receive our part orders promptly and our warranty issues are always handled in a timely and professional manner.” Speaking on behalf of all of Shell’s co-workers, Rick announces how very proud we are of her and the great job she does day in and day out. He says, “she is like an Eveready Battery and a Timex watch rolled into one.” Outgoing, courteous, always smiling and dependable, that is Shell Buchner, and we appreciate everything she does to help keep Centurion cruising along.


JOA Marine Is Making Waves

With a well connected and creative management team, JOA Marine is making waves in the greater Atlanta area. JOA Marine has partnered with Hooters for the summer to raise local awareness for Centurion boats. Sporting a bright orange, customized, 2006 Enzo SV230 featuring the JOA Marine and Hooters logos for promotions, the boat has been the backdrop at a different Hooters location each week to host bikini contests and has been used in several calendar photo shoots adorned with the lovely ladies from Hooters. The boat may also be seen on Lake Lanier, near Cocktail Cove or Holiday Marina.

Danielo Dominates

Two-time World Wake Surfing Champ and Team Centurion rider, Drew Danielo, has taken his talents into a new arena and shows he has the skills to dominate the wakeskate scene too. Drew appeared for the first time in a professional wakeskate competition at The Hippodrome on Koppert Lake in WA on June 25th where he took the title. We wish Drew a successful first season in wakeskating.


Bahamas Bound

Two Centurion team riders were recently asked by a new Centurion owner to come to their home and coach their kids. What is so special about his request? Well, if you are Sean O’Brien and Travis Propst, you would understand! The Cove family lives in the BAHAMAS! Watch the website for a com- plete interview and photos as each rider spends a full week of fun in the sun with the Coves.

We Like IKE!

As if 10 years on the Pro Wakeboard Tour, competing in over 30 professional tournaments in almost as many countries every year, and being ranked as one of the world’s best riders wasn’t enough to earn Brett “Ike” Eisenhauer a spot on the Centurion team, Ike proves he is a true team player by taking time out of his busy schedule to meet fans, sign autographs and pose for pictures during pro wakeboard events. Centurion would like to thank Ike for being such an amazing athlete ambassador.


99% Free of Carbon Monoxide

In association with the United States Coast Guard, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health researchers evaluated car- bon monoxide (CO) emissions and exposures from a Centurion Avalanche, equipped with SideSwipe exhaust. Study results indicated the average personal CO exposure to a wake surfer, located approximately 10 feet behind the boat, was reduced up to 99%, proving Centurion’s exclusive SideSwipe exhaust sys- tem makes boating and water sports safer.


Congrats and Thanks!

The Harlien family of Porterville, CA is enjoying their new 2006 Centurion Air Warrior so much they sent an extremely complimentary letter about their boat to the Centurion website, and will be the first recipients of a custom drip-mold decal for their truck to show our appreciation. Contact Us! at www.centurionboats.com to share your excite- ment and maybe you can be the next author of the Centurion Letter of the Month and one of twelve individuals to sport a special decal on your world championship towboat’s tow vehicle.


Ricky’s New Ride

Do you want to make a statement with your boat? That is exactly what Centurion team rider, Ricky Gonzalez has done with his customized Enzo SV230. One of the key differentiating features of a Centurion boat are the creative and custom gelcoat options. Ricky chose a solid black boat (yes, it is HOT!), with gunmetal gray metallic flake in the tribal graphics, giving this boat tons of personality to represent Ricky’s California style. Ricky says, “this is by far the best looking boat I’ve ever owned! Eve- ryone just stares as we go down the lake.” Look for Ricky and his boat to appear in video and photos on the H2O Audio website.
