Default __Miami Boat Show___Predator Powerboats Unveils the New C306 catamaran

.



Hello Everyone,

Nice to take a break and head down to Miami for the 2016 Miami Int'l Boat Show. Predator Powerboats will display their newest model the C306. The C306 is equipped with a wrap around windshield to maximize your high performance boating while behind a windshield built for outer-space. Shown below is a pic of the covered C306 model which will be unveiled at the boat show. Arnaldo is very excited and honored to showcase his newest creation for you to see. Because this is an unveiling, Predator shall wait till the first day of the show before releasing to the public all of the C306 images.

The booth is L1730

See you there!

I just found this post on another forum , If they kept there price's the same as a few years ago , I think they will have a Big Winner for this size boat class .

"" From other site "

"Predator Powerboats C30: Recap with hotboat.com
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
