    Interesting boat to say the least. I had an 18' Pontoon and liked it a lot, but since it caught so much wind I couldn't really troll well enough for my taste. However it was great for tying up over a brush pile or creek to fish and kind of wish that I had kept it and just have 2 boats, but then the cost of 2 would have not been easy on the pocket. Would like to hear what kind of speed and ride you get out of that with a motor like your talking about (30 to 40 HP).

    You have to remember the 14' is not made for big water, it's a "Pondtoon" and I have a 40lb on mine and it will get up to 3.5 mph and that more then enough to troll or do anything you want. I've had mine for 2 1/2 yrs and have really enjoyed it. Steve builds them about 30 miles from my house. I've done some upgrades to mine since this picture, seats, rod holders by Callshy and I need to update my picture.

    There is nothing wrong at all with my Predator. It looks brand new!!!!!!!!!!! I love the Predator.

    My navigation system is broken. I have been diagnosed with Minerie's Syndrome which is an inner ear malfunction. The VA is taking care of it. In other words, no cure. Trust me, you don't want it!!!!

    I am falling a lot. Severe vertigo. I fell in the Predator a couple weeks ago stepping up to the front deck. Time for a wide flat bottom boat with handicap rails before I really seriously get hurt.

    I knocked 4 teeth out 6 months ago. Call me "Speck". I thought I would die will all my teeth. Didn't make it.

    The boat is a tunnel hull design. It will run 32-34 mph (gps) with 30hp 4 stroke Merc. Just tried it out. That's fast enough. The one I tried was a 16 foot by 6 foot. It handles awesome. Very shallow water draft.

    Stick steer version. However, I will build my own steering system. I already have the electronics working. Joystick steer by wire. Awsome. I believe everyone would like it. It is proportional steering.
