The Hemming Family – 9 Time Centurion & Supreme Owners

(March 28, 2025) Oregon, USA – Harold and Sarah Hemming are set to take delivery of their 9th boat purchased from Fineline Industries. Over the years the couple and their family have owned 9 different Centurion and Supreme boats that range from the 1984 Centurion Trutrack to the 2025 Centurion Ri265.

The couple purchased their first boat in 2002, a 1984 Centurion Trutrack that Harold and his son restored as a father and son project. Six years later, the family purchased their very first, brand new Centurion, a 2008 Falcon V. As their love for watersports grew, so did the size of their boats. In 2014, the Hemmings purchased a brand new Supreme V226 and soon after that in 2016, they purchased an all new Supreme S238.

“When we switched to Supreme, we had our mind set on purchasing a Centurion Ri230. We wound up at a boat show and Northwest Boat Sports rolled out the red carpet for us and we have been committed to them ever since. They made it easy and gave us a deal we couldn’t say no to. They have been like family to us.” Harold Hemming shared. “We toured the factory after we ordered our Supreme S238 and picked it up there. Everyone is awesome and takes pride in their work. It makes you feel confident in your purchase.”

In 2018 the family made the transition back to Centurion with their purchase of the 2018 Centurion Fi23. The following year they upgraded to the 2019 Centurion Fi25. After nearly four years of owning their Centurion Fi25, in 2022, the Hemmings purchased the all-new Centurion Ri245.

After a year of owning their Centurion Ri245, the couple decided to upgrade and purchased their new Centurion Ri265 with the DropZone Auto Tower. Loving the space and the power that the Ri265 provided, Harold and Sarah, upgraded to a 2025 Ri265 with the Predator Power Tower.

“With the Predator, we can store the boat easily in our garage. The new charging stations, the bow arm rests, back rests, you name it, you guys always throw in something new that makes us want something new,” the couple shared.

The family has made the best memories in their boats over the years on their trips to Lake Shasta spending all the major boating holidays on the water. The pair’s 12-year-old grandson is now surfing.

“The wave. That’s what keeps us coming back, everything else is just icing on the cake.” Harold concludes.
