\"unquestionably the most stylish and sexy U.K. built express cruiser\"

That's what BoatTest website says of the 64' Predator (scroll down to 1/3 of the page).
Now, am I alone in thinking that this thingie is - heaven forbid - even uglier than their 37m tri-deck?

Hmm, I don't find it ugly, but it isn't a nice looker. The pred 50-something is worse, imho. But for sure it is not "unquestionably the most stylish and sexy U.K. built express cruiser"!

The side windows look like the Magesty range, built by Gulf Craft in Dubia.

I suppose they are trying to re-invent themselves like car manufactures, to stay ahead of the game.

It's no wonder they went under, who would allow a picture with a fat geezer (like me) at the wheel get onto the internet?

Vagabond

I think during world war 2, they used to run huge petrol engines. Obviously petrol used to be a cheaper commodity.

The paint scheme doesn't help. The superstructure just totally overwhelms the hull.

Maybe it was just some enthusiastic commentary by a new writer... surely can't be a boat test reviewer with experience.

True .. but hey 2 or 3 of the nice new volvo D12's with IPS would be great!

Hey I bet we wouldn't have any right of way issues either ... hehee...

I think the geezer's fat is really all muscle just like mine

And he's on a British vessel with a Spanish courtesy flag, either.
Are you telling us something your wife shouldn't know?

Americans do have this inferiority complex about 'Euro Styling' so anything from a so called prestige Euro builder is automatically stylish in the US, never mind that it actually is pig ugly

IMO
sub 50ft is a big duel between Flines 44 TargaGT and Princess new V42 I really like this last one...
on pictures Sealine new SC46 looks good too
over 50 I would say Princess V series is the best looking and both V62 and V65 look better to SSeeker, altough finishing wise I am sure the Sseeker will be better
we have also to wait for the new Fline 58 Targa which I hope to be a stunner
the Sseeker most of the times is always too much a busy boat on the design of things
all IMO

Yep, when your domestic builders make stuff like this, anything foreign seems stylish.

I love the Pred...................Beautiful machine..............Goodbye Mr Bond!

Agreed though that the shape only really works over 60 foot! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Well PY, hat off to Ms.Theodoli and the quality of her boats, but speaking strictly in terms of design I wouldn't call them beautiful. Ok, beauty is in the eye and all that, but in the same boat style Baia and Itama are much more elegant, frinstance.
All imho, as usually.
