The Predator 165 was developed to be one of the safest sea angling boats in its class and, with that aim, "unsinkable" just wasn't good enough for Predator Boats.
A boat can be called "unsinkable" even if its stern is held under water by its outboard motor and its bows are pointing up at the sky like a rocket! What help is that to you if you are five miles offshore and alone in a bitterly cold sea?
This can't happen with the Predator 165. The "lifering" of buoyancy built into the hull of the Predator 165, which is additional to the usual underfloor buoyancy chamber, means that swamping is no longer the threat it used to be. In addition, ALL the buoyancy tanks of the Predator 165 are FULLY foam filled, unlike many of the fishing boats currently on the market which have buoyancy tanks that are only partly filled with foam. And the foam we use is a closed cell foam, which means it will not and cannot absorb water, the individual air cells are closed and sealed, meaning that even if the buoyancy tanks are punctured, this will not affect the safety of the Predator 165.
Predator 165 - Build Details
Every Predator 165 is built using the very best Lloyds approved materials. In addition, our boats are hand built by experienced craftsmen in our workshops in Lancashire, where they are inspected for quality control at every stage of construction.
The keel is 350 mm deep and is cut from solid Idigbo, a light and yet strong and rot-resistant hardwood. In addition, there are timber panels that reinforce the areas of the hull subject to loads from the trailer rollers. The whole of the hull interior is then glassed over to further strengthen hull and to fully encapsulate all the hull reinforcing timber. Finally the floor is fitted and the underfloor void is fully foam-filled to create an immensely strong box structure. When we say that the Predator 165 is "Built to Last", we mean what we say!
