Centurion Air Warrior 2011 vs Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 and the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Centurion Air Warrior 2011 measures 20,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 18,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). At 378 lbs and 378 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats are rated for 1 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Centurion Air Warrior 2011 at 20,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Centurion Air Warrior 2011 vs Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 or the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008?
The Centurion Air Warrior 2011 is the longer of the two at 20,8 feet overall. The Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 18,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 or the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008?
For trailering, the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 has the edge at 378 lbs dry weight versus 378 lbs for the Centurion Air Warrior 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Centurion Air Warrior 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 is certified for 1. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 and Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 share an 102 in. (2.59 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 and Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008?
Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 41 gallons and 41 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.
Are the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 and Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Centurion Air Warrior 2011 and the Centurion Falcon V Air Warrior 2008 are built by Centurion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
