Just got the first central coast Predator PDL from Bill at Pismo Beach Surf Shop. Ordering lots of stuff, will be posting pictures soon. Seting it up with a second seat for fresh water use so the "Admiral" can go with when she wants. Ordered a 40# Minn Kota which I plan to shorten the shaft and make a mount system to swap with the pedal system on occasion. Think I'll call it the "Predator Pismo Gismo" after all my mods.
Bill and I did a shake down at Avila Beach sunday and it was NICE/FAST/STABLE/COMFORTABLE. With the 500# payload should work fine as a tandem in calm water. Love the "Black Cherry" color.
