Raptor spreads its wings

Streaker Boats has unleashed the Raptor, a pocket rocket jet machine that Streaker reckons will pin your ears back when you floor the throttle.

More fun than a PWC, faster than most and capable of carrying four people, the Raptor from Streaker redefines the meaning of fast.  

Shoehorned in to the 4.40m Raptor fibreglass hull is 200hp of hi-tech Mercury OptiMax Sport Jet.

While small in length (4.4m) and beam (2.10m) the Raptor still has a full width bolster seat for three plus an upholstered forward lounge.

With striking exterior graphics, the Raptor has crisp, sharp lines. The interior of the Raptor comprises a moulded fibreglass interior which has anti skid in all the right places. At the end of a day on the water, all you need is a hose to wash down the interior and flush the engine.

At the driver’s position is a fully featured dash with a full set of engine monitoring gauges. The speedo and tacho on the top of the instrument cluster are the two which attract most attention while out on the water.

Under the rear deck hatch lies the heart of the raptor beast... the Mercury OptiMax 200 V6 Sport Jet. This is the same high powered engine that Mercury sells as an outboard, the OptiMax 200.  The only difference is that this engine drives a jet pump, mounted directly underneath the hull.
