New Model: Sunseeker 84 Predator

Surprising all in the yachting biz, it's brand fans and passionate friends, Sunseeker gave a surprise preview during the Southampton Boat Show of the new 84 Predator, literally just a few days after announcing this project on it's website. This new twenty six metre over all length model, joins the successful Predator range, following where the new just launched 92 Sport left, with a similar concept in design and features but in a slightly smaller length. In fact as the 92 Predator Sport the new 84 Predator features the demanded upper sport deck, with the optional second helm station available for those who want a head in the air driving experience. The new 84 Predator is also considerably larger on the waterline length and beam to the 82 Predator it will eventually replace, allowing for a spaciously greater 4 double cabin interior volume, with a mid ship crew quarters allowing for 3 berths. Performance for the new 84 Predator does not disappoint the speed lover, with top speeds of 42 knots reachable with Arneson Surface Drives and double engines totalling 4868 hp.
