The BigWater PDL 132 keeps the Predator PDL hull and adds an upgraded seat and new colors. The PDL drive gives instant forward and reverse and uses an easy-docking system for launching and landing. A 36 in wide hull, two tracks in the bow and two in the stern, and a large stern tankwell with removable bungee handle gear and accessories.
