The idea is to give the new owner a good chance to get familiar with the features and operation of the boat, get some experience navigating through the Islands as well as demonstrate the confidence I still have in the boat and it’s capabilities. I will cover the fuel costs and my own accommodations and the new owner and his crew will look after their accommodations or can stay on the boat. This a great opportunity to swim and dive the gorgeous Bahamian waters, feed the iguanas, swim with the sharks and turtles and swim in the Thunderball Grotto, or just walk the pink sand beaches of Harbour Island.

Team PREDATOR is an amazing boat for these type of trips and has been in 22 countries from CAN to the north, MX to the west and Eastern Caribbean to the south. She has been extremely well maintained and has a lot of life in her yet ! It is also a great poker run boat as long as you don’t expect to be first to a card stop unless the water is really big ! LOL At Boyne Thunder a few years ago we were 4th to the first card stop in 6 ft + seas before the event was cancelled. It is just a lot of fun to load up the boat with a lot of friends and have great day on the water or if at a fun run or poker run arrive safely in the middle of the pack.

Some may know that I have ordered a new 42’ Mystic CC for July delivery and this makes both Team PREDATOR and my 38’ Statement CC expendable. While there is a bit of room to move on the price yet, my plan if TP does not sell by June is to bring it back to CAN and keep here permanently as a Great Lakes boat and leave the new Mystic in Florida year round and avoid all the hauling back and forth each year.

Any drawings of the new boat's paint scheme? Is that going to be a triple or quad 400?

Just for the few that don't know how wide Bob's adventures take him, a few years back Bob almost raced with Bobby Saccenti and myself in the Around Ireland Race.

The plan was to take Team Predator and ship it over by ship to Southampton .....and then run over to the starting point in Ireland.

Full sponsorship was promised, BUT not delivered and Bob went back to small runs like the Cancun run.

I was a guest of Bob's on a poker run with the FMO group and can say, Team Predator is a beautiful boat with plenty of go when you need it, especially in the real water offshore.
