2001 Predator Custom Walk Around

Overview

This 35' walkaround style sportfish is a fishing machine which offers her anglers the benefits of 360 degree mobility on a stable and capable platform.  "It's a Wrap" has been rigged by knowledgeable fisherman and has been modified to lower the maintenance factor by eliminating the teak decks and minimizing the varnish, while keeping her custom sportfish boat features.  She has great dock appeal and pleasing style lines.

Her helm deck has newer saddle-colored cushions and a starboard side teak helm pod with custom ladderback helm chair.  Polycarbonite enclosure is neatly done between the hardtop and the helm deck.  Beneath the hardtop there is an aluminum center overhead grab-rail. There is a center entry to the cabin which has a head to the portside and a V-berth forward with Teak and Holly sole.  Interior cabinets are satin finished teak with numerous drawers and shelf compartments along the sides of the V-berth.  To the starboard side aft is the main electrical panel and a Corian countertop with molded sea rail and a single burner cooktop.  Above on the wall is a digital thermostat for the reverse-cycle OceanAir A/C.  The head has a sliding pocket door and has a Corian vanity top with oval stainless steel sink basin and a retractable faucet/shower wand.  The cabinets are white with non-skid floor and drain with sump pump beneath.  Crown electric head is aft.  

Also in the cabin is a Fusion MS-RA70NSX stereo/sat radio unit with JL Audio speakers on the helm deck and Fusion speakers under the gunwales.  There is a small video monitor flush mounted above the V-berth (operation unknown).  Also a small video switch panel with a couple of cameras mounted on the tower (operation unknown).

Broker Comments

Here is an original Predator Custom Yachts walk-around built in Sarasota, FL,  This vessel is Hull #6 of the eleven hulls made by the original builder before the tooling was sold to Egg Harbor Yachts and production was moved to New Jersey.  These original boats were built remarkably strong and lightweight due to their composite sandwich laminate schedule.  S-glass, carbon fiber, Kevlar, and epoxy resin were some of the materials utilized in the structure which was heated during the initial lamination process.  Only 5 walk-around layout Predators were built (none by Egg Harbor).  Powered by 420hp Yanmar diesels, these Florida-built boats were fast, economical, and nimble.

IT'S A WRAP has finished an update period which included a complete paint job in 2019.  Her motors and generator have had an extensive servicing and general systems have all been looked over.
