Predator 35 Express

The Predator 35 Express looks fast just sitting in her slip, and her looks are not deceiving. Her deep-V hull has a deadrise of 20 degrees, and 450 hp Caterpillars reportedly push this express fisherman to a 30-knot cruise and a 36.5-knot top speed. Egg Harbor Yachts purchased Predator last fall and builds the 35 in its New Jersey facility. The boat is solid from the waterline down, with a handlaid hull and Divinycell coring in the hull sides and deck. The interior includes rich woods and a custom décor package. Two cabin layouts are available. Fishing amenities include fresh- and raw-water washdowns, a sink and coolers with overboard drains, gunwale-mounted rodholders and an aluminum plate for mounting a fighting chair. A lift-out fishbox in the 63-square-foot cockpit is macerated for easy cleaning. Access to the engine space is forward of the cockpit on the bridge deck. Bench seats flank the custom console, with stowage beneath.
