So I know there were a few members that were interested in hearing more about the new Predator C30. The boat is sporting twin 200's and a lot of style. The boat also has a full cabin. I spoke with Noli of Predator Powerboats and here is what he had to say about it:"
Case in point, the C30 hull with Premier Performance interiors ( PPI - Sarasota, FL ) can be had for only $61,000. With twin 300XS outboards, the turnkey cost is $125K.
The C30 can also be outfitted with twin small block I/Os. When done so, she will run in the 125MPH range
Gary wanted to test the boat's characteristics with low fuel-consuming outboards, and does she perform!
At wide open throttle The C30 w/200XS racing motors make 4 MPG ( 85 - 90 MPH )
at 5400 RPM she'll cover 5 MPG
The boat is built with mostly composite materials and balsa core with vacuum bagging throughout
We will be building a light C30 with foam core. That will also be vacuum bagged
Its the only 30 foot cat in her class with a cabin
We also build a 25 foot cat hull for only $29,500 , no interior"
