The Predator 160 is a solid and practical sea boat, designed with performance in mind and highly respected in the boating industry. But you don't have to take our word for it, here are some of the things which independent boating professionals and experienced sea anglers have written about the Predator 160:-

"This boat will suit the vast majority of small-boat anglers who fish British inshore and offshore waters"

"Eventually the narrow creek joined the Ribble and I was able to open the throttle and really get to grips with this boat . . . WOW!"

These are quotes from the January 2005 SeaAngler magazine in a boat test carried out by Dave Lewis, and as SeaAngler magazine said at the time, " . . . and he doesn't say that about a lot of the boats he tests."

"The hull would probably best be described as a planing boat hybrid. For my money the Predator has more of a V-hull feel about it than a semi-cathedral. . . but whatever the terminology, the overall effect works, in fact, it works exceptionally well."
Phill Williams, Boat Fishing Monthly, January 2005.

"Often I find a small, independent boat manufacturer working quietly away building a truly-superb product. Douglas Marine Ltd, builders of the Predator 160, are a great example. Here we have a basic, fast, well-made fishing boat that would suit the vast majority of British small-boat anglers. . . The Predator is a cracking little angling boat and I would give it serious consideration were I looking to buy, especially if it was a first-time craft."
Dave Lewis, "Finest in the fleet", SeaAngler magazine, March 2005
