Andy135 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 2013 Predator 165 Sea Angler with Suzuki DF80 engine. Full service history. Only 2 owners from new. Factory fitted Suzuki DF80 outboard - this is the largest horsepower outboard for the hull design. Engine had just 97 hours and 15 mins at the last service (May 2020). This will have gone up since then but not significantly. She has nearly every factory extra added (stainless rails, stainless bait table, stainless boarding ladder, towing eyes for water toys, rod racks, stainless nav light arch, rear bench seat, full (unused) seat cushion set) and sits on her own galvanised trailer. Comes with a Lowrance Elite Ti-7 plotter/fishfinder, with a full UK C-Map chart and a TotalScan side-scan/down-scan transducer. Fixed VHF which connects via NMEA0183 to the plotter to enable GPS location for DSC messaging/emergencies. Twin batteries, with charging managed by a Blue Sea charge controller, with a 1-2-OFF battery switch. 5kg bruce anchor, 5m of chain and 70m of octoplait anchor rode. Twin 30 litre fuel tanks with Suzuki dry-break fuel line connectors. Looking for somewhere in the region of £13,500.Does that feel like strong money? The fact is that yes, it is. But this boat is spotless, has masses of factory extras, has lead a very sheltered life, and has the best engine for the hull. Where else will you find an 80hp minter? PM's to @Andy135 Thanks for looking 👍 Geoff, Saintly Fish and mick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Does that include a trailer? A mate of mine is looking for a 165 but wants to trail it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Wow 30kts from an 80 is good. My boat is the same length with a Suzuki 140 and a top speed of 30. Yours must be a fair amount lighter and far less v in the hull. Good luck in the sale. JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It’s mainly guess work @JDP. Bit like when he catches a dog fish and guesses it’s a huss! Andy135, JonC and JDP 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my daughter with me and she kept egging me on; "Faster Daddy!" 🤣 I ran out of bravery before the engine ran out of revs - it had another 500rpm to give.

Andy135 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Apache went to her new home today. Sad to see her go but I know she's gone to a great home and will catch many more (dog)fish in the South-west. 👍 Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owner came from FAFB but thanks anyway for posting her onto Facebook. It was quite an experience fending off the chancers, time-wasters and fender-kickers.

What part of the SW is the new owner from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
