Hi Aqua,

Hey Noli, Was great meeting you in person at the show. I thought the predator cat was a great looking boat. I liked the engine info system you guys had set up in the boat. Looked very cool. Cant argue with the price point. Also when changing over from 300s to 400 there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes besides just the motor price. Power steering, tie bar set up, wiring harness all different, wing plates. Im sure there are some more but you get the idea.

Hi Steve,
Was my pleasure to have met you. Thank you for the kind words.
The transition from 300XS to 400R takes a lot into consideration, but besides the basic electrical things and strengthening the transom, the single most important factor is the CG
When rigging with 400R motors, the completed boat will be lifted on a single sling a few inches off the ground to determine and return the CG to its optimal point. That point is the spot between the first and second step of the hull as per DW Sr. Weights will be added accordingly and then the boat is run to see how she handles in the rough.
But something else on the horizon has caught my attention. How about 400+HP outboard motors all at the same weights as the old 2.5EFI motors!
15" mids is standard!

way more then a lake boat my friend . . . . wayyyy more. Dont ever count out this thirty footer in the rough stuff. Will it run with a 41 Apache? . . . of course not nothing will but this thirty really runs well and is one of the funnest hulls i have ever raced in, i mean this thing was a BLAST to run . . . . "put the sticks in the kitchen and let 'er eat" fun. Dean and i won the 06 Destin Worlds in the old Race Frenzy 30' DW AMT super stock cat in P-2 up against mid thirty foot canopy Fountains and canopy Gladiators (all spec Super V's) and it was one F'ing ruff azz day . . . . Arnolda has done the hull justice and i was glad to see how nice his boats are. All to often molds are bought and sub standard boats get knocked out one after another. Predator builds a nice piece and its great to see a quality progression of a hull design the deserves to be around for a long time.

I agree. Seeing that boat in person it will handle some decent big water. For the money could be one of the nicest cats on the market for the value.
The boat has great lines and with all the views on this thread hopefully they will sell some boats.
OB cats are on the rise. Glad to see other players in the market.

fun fun . . . . . fun boat
one of the thing i really liked about it was its ability in rough water. We joked about landing it any which way and it seemed to claw its way out . . . well all but that one time lol
couple start pics and the infamous Tim Sharky "big air" shot (not photo shopped either. we were technically in a low earth orbit i think )

incidentally bor is basically building my dream rig. i can remember idling around a milling circle waiting for the start of a race daydreaming about an LS/Arneson 30 DW, cant wait to hear how it runs
