“Unveiling Montana Wake: Dive into Community Spirit and Boating Bliss!”

(January 6, 2025) Billings, MT—Centurion & Supreme Boats dealership, Montana Wake, hosted a grand inauguration on December 21, 2024, which was not merely a celebration of a new dealership, but also highlighted the strength of community. Organized by owner Nate Romain and his team, the event united local enterprises, enthusiasts, and families to revel in the lively boating lifestyle that brings them together while enjoying the newly established dealership premises.

Nate Romain, proprietor of Montana Wake, articulated his aspirations for the event: “We aimed for it to be more than just a showcase for our boats. It was about fostering a venue where like-minded individuals within our community could converge, exchange their insights, and rejoice in the lifestyle we all cherish. Everyone contributed, from local enterprises in Billings to partners like Phase 5 and Roswell, just to name a few. It’s impressive to witness all the parts come together to create such a nurturing and passionate community.”

The event featured live giveaways and contributions from a variety of partners. Guests indulged in an open bar hosted by Lithia Dodge, entered a contest to win tickets to see the Denver Broncos, and participated in lessons led by Centurion & Supreme professional wake surfer Cade Lybeck. The event also offered unique promotions, including Flathead Lake Luxury Lodging’s deal for a two-night stay upon the purchase of a new Centurion boat.

Over 300 individuals attended the grand opening event in Billings, Montana. From community members to customers and business proprietors to Centurion & Supreme athletes, the grand opening attracted a diverse crowd that came together in support of this emerging business. The event also saw the sale of a 2025 Ri245 and generated numerous leads from eager new patrons.

Gerry Oppliger, Centurion & Supreme Boats Western Sales Manager, commended Nate’s dedication, commenting, “Nate’s zest for life and his capability to unite people is remarkable. This event encompassed more than just boats; it was about honoring the community and the mutual passion for the water. With the new facility and the incredible team he has built, Montana Wake is poised to become a central hub for boating in the Billings region.”

Montana Wake originated as a Facebook group where boating aficionados could share advice, techniques, and narratives about boating. It has developed into the dealership it is today, emphasizing relationships and a passion for the water over sales targets. “Everything in our shop is something we cherish and utilize,” Nate explained. “We collaborate with brands and representatives we admire, and that care radiates through everything we do.”

Nate’s journey with Centurion and Supreme Boats commenced as a consumer. His personal encounters with the brand, encompassing numerous hours spent on the water with his family, reinforced his faith in the quality and community-centric focus of Centurion and Supreme Boats. “Centurion Boats remain my top choice on the water,” he mentioned. “It has been phenomenal to demonstrate to people why we have a fondness for these boats.”

The accomplishment of Montana Wake is a collective endeavor. Nate’s spouse, Lindsay, plays an essential role in managing operations, ensuring that everything runs seamlessly behind the scenes. Key team members also consist of his nephew, who oversees marketing and design, and JJ, the service manager who aids in orchestrating daily activities. “When you have a complete circle of assistance, success follows,” Nate stated.

Gerry Oppliger emphasized the dealership’s potential, asserting, “Nate is destined to be a pivotal force in the advancement of the sport and the Billings community. His enthusiasm and vision are unparalleled.”

The grand opening signifies the start of an exhilarating journey for Montana Wake and its adjacent community.
