OLD Town Canoes & Kayaks, in conjunction with BLA, has launched the Predator 13 kayak in Australia. Developed in combination with Old Town’s designers and pro staff members throughout the US, the Predator is completely engineered, below and above the waterline, to deliver a great platform for fishing.
Featuring six strategically-placed, removable mounting plates, the Predator enables consumers to install rod holders, GPS units, fish finders, cameras and more virtually anywhere around the boat without drilling into the hull.
The Predator boasts standout features including the three-stage Element seating system that can be lowered for paddling, raised for fishing or even flipped out of the way in stand-up mode for poling, sighting and casting. The proprietary, slip resistant Exo-Ridge deck is designed for sure footing and superior drainage, while the Tri-hull construction provides both incredible durability and stability. A package unique in the marketplace, the Old Town Predator ensures anglers can paddle in comfort, arrange equipment to their exact specifications and even stand to fish.
The Predator possesses a large capacity centre console for maximum storage and additional mounting options, while dual rod tip holders at the bow help store valuable fishing rods safely and securely.
Other key features include a large bow hatch with Old Town’s patented Click Seal cover, scupper holes for quick drainage, large rear tank well with Exo-Ridge design to keep gear accessible and dry, paddle keepers, adjustable foot braces and side-mounted rod retainers that allow for convenient grab and cast.
The Predator can accept aftermarket options like Steady Stand-Up Bar and a Minn Kota trolling motor mount.
Available in two new models, Old Town Predator kayaks land at BLA watercraft dealers later in 2013.
