Default Who wants to go to Bahamas for 4 or 5 days aboard Team PREDATOR ?

Now there ….. I have your attention. LOL

I am willing to take the eventual purchaser of my 50’ Nor Tech, Team PREDATOR along with 3 or 4 of his guests on a guided 4 or 5 day trip though the Bahamas this spring. 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.



Here is link to my Flickr album of Team PREDATOR pictures:

Here is a link to the Team PREDATOR listing on OSO: https://www.offshoreonly.com/classif...00-o71780.html

Here is a listing to the Statement listing on OSO: https://www.offshoreonly.com/classif...80-o71993.html

Enjoy,

Bob

Just 1,090. LOL Lots of life left in this girl yet ! Having a couple other boats helps spread my total boating hours around over the period.

Almost 1100 hours on those diesels is a lot of boating! You still managed to get over 100 hours a year in with Predator despite having other boats! I love the 50 NT's and the ASD/diesel combo is a sweet spot for speed and durability. I'd love to continue your endeavors with that boat but for me it would just be multiple trips to the Bahamas!

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