2027 Centurion Ri230 Walkthrough
SAVE OUR WATERWAYS
Your Access Is Being Written Without You
Lake Powell & Mead are dropping. A wave of wake surfing bans is spreading across the nation, lake by lake. Boat ramps are closing as water levels recede. In state capitals and federal agencies, people who have never spent a day on the lake are deciding where you get to launch, ride, fish, and surf.
BlueRibbon Coalition has spent 40 years fighting for the right to access America’s public lands and waterways. Now we are putting a custom 2027 Centurion Ri230 on the line to fund that fight, and to pull boaters together in a swell of support to defend watersports and defend our lakes.
This is not a boat giveaway to benefit corporate sponsors. Every dollar will support policy experts, legal teams, and our mission to build a nationwide movement of boaters— pulling them off the side lines and turning them into a force on the issues deciding their access.
We need your name, your voice, and your support in our corner — because the next ban, the next closure, the next “emergency” water release decision is already being written by people who’ve never sat in the captain’s seat.
One-of-a-Kind Prize
A Custom 2027 Centurion Ri230, Designed by the Community That Will Win It
This is not a boat pulled off the showroom floor. Working with our partners at Centurion and BoardCo, we’ll be running a community-voted design contest!
A roster of Centurion pros, wake and surf athletes, and brand ambassadors will each build a custom Ri230 concept on the Centurion configurator. Starting in November 2026, donors vote with their entries. The winning design, chosen by the community and not a marketing committee, becomes the actual boat we award in spring 2027.
Whoever wins does not just win a Centurion. They win a boat with a story, designed by the same community that fought to keep our waters open.
MODEL: 2027 Centurion Ri230 Surf Boat
COLOR: To be voted on by you!

WHY THE SWEEPSTAKES
We Are Not Just Giving Away a Boat. We Are Funding the Fight for Access.
For most of our history, BlueRibbon Coalition fought for trails, dunes, and dirt. Today some of our hardest and highest-stakes fights are happening on the water, and the boating community needs an advocate that knows how to win.
Water itself is the biggest fight of all.
Out West, the reservoirs that anchor a huge share of American boating are being managed toward crisis. As Colorado River levels swing, federal agencies debate whether to keep managing Lake Powell, Lake Mead, Flaming Gorge, and Blue Mesa for recreation at all. Boat ramps close. Marina seasons get cut short. BRC is the organization in the room: in the federal rulemaking process, in the courts, and in Washington.
This isn’t new for us. BRC fought and won the legal battle that reopened Lake Powell to personal watercraft in the early 2000s, and we’ve stayed at that table ever since. We intend to do it again for wake boats, houseboats, and every other way you use that lake.
Wake surfing is under attack, lake by lake.
Vermont is the newest front. State regulators built a framework that can declare entire lakes off limits to wake sports based on broad, generalized criteria rather than evidence from any specific lake. BRC filed a formal objection, arguing the rule exceeded the agency’s legal authority and rested on a flawed process with no real data behind it. The state pushed the rule through in June 2026. But we are not finished. BRC is now working with local groups to challenge it, and we are building the legal playbook to fight the copycat rules already surfacing in other states.
When we fight early, we win.
In Oregon, the state marine board moved to extend jet ski restrictions to small inboard jet boats, a change that would have closed longtime owners out of water they had always run. BRC opposed the rule as arbitrary and unsupported by any safety or environmental record, and pushed for a collaborative process instead. The rule was pulled. Mini jet boats stayed protected. That is what showing up early looks like.
BIG IDEAS TO SAVE ACCESS
The Colorado River Abundance Act
Most groups are fighting over how to divide a shrinking supply of water. BRC wrote a plan to grow it. The Colorado River Abundance Act is our proposed federal bill to build up to 7 million acre-feet of new, reliable water supply through large-scale desalination, advanced water reuse, and modernized infrastructure. It treats recreation as a coequal national priority and protects existing water rights and interstate compacts. The bill aims to refill and protect Lake Powell, Lake Mead, and other Colorado River reservoirs rather than drain them.
It is the centerpiece of our waterway intiatives, and it is exactly the kind of ambitious, boater-first advocacy this sweepstakes funds.
And it is one fight among many. Here are some of the ways BRC is already showing up for boaters:
Oregon Jet Boats
Helped stop a state rule that would have shut small inboard jet boats out of waters they had always run. The rule was pulled.
Vermont wake sports
Filed a formal legal objection to Vermont’s statewide wake-sports restrictions and is now working with local groups to challenge the rule in court.
Colorado River operations
Filed a formal legal objection to Vermont’s statewide wake-sports restrictions and is now working with local groups to challenge the rule in court.
FLAMING GORGE
Backed the management plan that keeps boat ramps, marinas, and dispersed camping open, and pushed back on loose “user conflict” claims used to restrict motorized boating.
Blue Mesa Reservoir
Fighting for permitting reform so marinas do not have to close in early July and the recreation season stays open longer.
Green River
Defending motorized watercraft access near Moab against de facto buffer zones that would quietly limit boating.
From the Pacific Northwest to the lakes of New England, if it floats and the access is threatened, BRC is in the room.
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Your Donation Enry Helps Build a Coalition the Suits Can’t Ignore
Boaters spend more time on the water than almost anyone. For too long the community has allowed suits in state capitals and Washington D.C. to determine their access. This sweepstakes changes that.
A portion of every dollar donated goes to the Water Sports Industry Association (WSIA), the leading voice of the water sports industry. WSIA promotes and protects the sport through safety, education, and access work.
BRC brings litigation and rulemaking muscle. Your donation fuels BRC’s national watersports work: legal costs, policy staff, and the on-the-ground legiadvocacy that keeps ramps open, seasons long, and reservoirs full.
Together that is a full advocacy front the community has never had.
