After looking at your site, we are talking about different boats, sorry.
The
Predator was a center console "fishing" version of what looked like or was
very similar to the same hull as your boat. As I recall the were usually
supplied with twin 225 hp Suzuki outboards which were mounted on hydraulic
jack plates. I saw one at the New Orelans boat show maybe late 90's. And
at
least one fished a time or two from our home port.
One another note, you are nuts!! But you probably already know that. Humm,
let's see, twin 225's tee top extra weight = 80mph top end. No tee top, no
console and other stuff 1400 hp = WAY TOO FAST!
That said, it ought to be a fun project, good luck and be sure to have all
test runs video taped to later be incorporated into the next edition of
the
"stupid deaths" video.
ps, I want to be in that video too!

A 30 footer with 1400 HP? You are right. He is nuts. I'ld love to see it
run, but I'll be happy to watch it go by from my own boat from a dafe
distance.
