Shedding some lbs

[flygoddess]

My hubby and I Do hit some waters that require some walking in to get to. But, we are still a fan of the oars, so we bought a couple of these new boats by Dave Scadden. The intro or demo to the Predator was to be a 6' model the same as the Escape without the oars and weighing in at 9 lbs. But, after hitting the show circuit, the People told Dave what they wanted. They were not interested in the 6' version but something a little longer and the oars, so Dave scratched the smaller version and here is the new Predator. They are 8' long and 52" wide give or take an inch.
It is made out of a new material. Heart Valve material. So while being strong, it is super light as well. That is what interest us more than anything. Some where around 12 lbs.
It is about a foot shorter that the Renegade.
Now some specifics:
There is a NEW Bravo Valve. It seems a lot stronger. So if ordering be prepared for this. Deflated it almost sounds like crumpling paper...LOL.
The D rings are plastic, not sure on this idea yet myself as my motor mount attaches to these. Time will tell.
Foot bar, it is out farther now, I really like this. Legs straight out for rowing.
New bags, with a choice of Blue or Red top. They are insulated as well.
New seat too. With a choice of red or blue on the accent. Also comes with a really nice stripping apron.
Here it is:

NOTE: This is with the seat, bags and oars





Have not got it wet yet, but I am sure it will be smooth sailing
