The fact that the all-new widebody 30-foot 6-inch catamaran from Predator Powerboats in Patchogue, N.Y., hit the water for the first time almost two weeks ago in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., may seem out of the ordinary being that the West Coast hot spot is some 2,000-plus miles away from New York’s famed Long Island.
