NEWB OAT S
Two new Predators will be making
their debuts at Düsseldorf and
the new flagship of the range is the
75ft (23m), 53-tonne Predator 74.
Despite its size, the 74 is a true
performance boat, capable of 40
knots with the largest twin MAN
V12 1,900hp engine option. Your local
fuel pump operator will be thrilled.
Away from the throttles, the
exterior structure appears to be
made of almost as much glass as
GRP. The topsides, saloon and roof
are full of the stuff, which should make
for a spectacularly bright interior.
A main deck that opens out into the
cockpit gives unbroken access and
a lovely flow of air through the saloon.
There is the option to have four
cabins below decks but the 74
has three as standard, Contact

Düsseldorf Stand 6/B61
At the other end of the range, an
all-new 50 arrives to claim the
title of smallest Predator to date.
The performance isn’t as bonkers
as its big sister’s, with twin Volvo
Penta D8-600s good for 32 knots,
but it certainly looks the part.
The cockpit layout is clever,
incorporating a sunpad with a tender
garage beneath. Opposite there is an
aft-facing bench that offers sociable
dining space. There is the option
to spec a barbecue on the transom,
a fold-down bench and shower.
Below, two cabins are standard,
but lose the lower dinette and you
can replace it with a third bunk cabin.
