260 Predator

The direct-drive inboard power of the 260 Cuddy Cabin makes her an excellent choice for anglers or cruisers seeking a dependable trailerable boat with a large cockpit, excellent shallow-water capability and good range. The 260 Predator has a unique Keel-drive hull with a full-length skeg keel and protected prop and rudder design, a design that reduces the chance of damaging a prop or rudder in shallow water. The Predator model has a bait-prep center over the engine and a transom livewell. Additional features include in-deck fishbox in the cockpit, compact interior with a V-berth and enclosed head compartment. Updated in 1991 with new deck tooling and curved windshield. Sturdy construction makes for a relatively heavy boat. Note the narrow 8-foot beam. Top speed in the low 30s mph with 250hp gas inboard.
