Default anyone know what this is?


Saw this sitting in an industrial park parking lot...looks cool but severely neglected. Only writing I saw was "Predator" by the steering wheel. It's got a single bravo on it. Wasn't for sale...just caught my eye and figured someone here would know what it is.

bob metsler a failed inch broker here in MI. bought out klem and re named them predator boats quality was slightly better but still in the end a klem jem I think that was a magnum bottom with a different deck, the 32 was a Excalibur with a added section on the deck , the cat was a shadow cat H2O can fill in the blanks when he gets home from the Detroit boat show, I here he's looking at the new pontoons

just about every offshore boat out there is a splash of some other hull.

True, Most in the 27' to 31' range are knock offs of a Magnum hull. What makes Klems splashes so bad are the type of materials used, rigging, the used equipment like engines made to look new. Greg [DRAKE 22.250 here on OSO had this 28' Klem the only thing he could do with it was crush it!!
