Graham Nash Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 NOW SOLD I've just bought a project and will be looking to move my Raider on. I know I will regret selling the Raider but if this new one is not as good then I can always flog it again and get another Raider. Anyway, its a 2006 Raider 18 wheelhouse with Evinrude etech 90. Engine was serviced early 2011 and it had about 50 odd hours on it. (I have computer print out available). I have possibly added another 100 hours to it this year?? So another 200 hours (or 2 years till next service is due). Top speed of about 30knotts and cruises easily at 20-24. I've used it for trips up to 30 miles out and it never misses a beat. Fishes 3 reasonably comfortably. The Electronics will be coming off (to be fitted to the new one) so its just the boat with nav lights, one fuel tank (around 35 litres I think), two battery setup, engine with guages etc, boarding ladder, aux bracket, twin wheel trailer (brakes have been removed as its only used in boat yard), new cover and a few rod holders. Possibly leave the radar arch on if the price is right. I paid 13500 for it a year and a half ago so make me a sensible offer and we may have a deal. Graham.

Graham Nash Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Martin saw it being dragged to my place on Sunday but hopefully it will be out on the water in time for the Bream ... I didnt get the diesel Raider nor the one I agreed terms on (as the bloke selling it was a ...... well you know). The one I got has been sat on some guys drive in Hamworthy for the best part of 3 years. Dunno what it is but it was a commercial boat registered in Portland up till 2004 it's got masses of deck space and it weighs a ton & a half dry! I've got a Suzuki DF115 going on it so hopefully it will push it along nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Nash Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks Mike .... I've not even seen this project in the water so I'm hoping it is as good a platform as Little Sal has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Good luck with this Graham If you want any advice please ask , I have a large list of contacts and suppliers that may help you keep to budget. Post up a picture I am sure someone will ID the boat Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Good Idea Charlie Its 20ft long. the floor has lots of raised hatches (which I intend on removing and fitting flush hatches). It has lots of other built in storage as well, so the deck should stay clear. Looking on the register of fishing boats from 2003 it would seem she was called "Mistress" and was registered as being 5.9 met 1.5 tons and having a 100hp engine. The seller tells me it was built by a commercial boat builder in Emsworth in the late 90's but I cant find anything on Google about any boat builders in Emsworth that may have built it. Unless you lot know different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Bit of T-cut and some elbow grease and it will be fine!! Goodluck Graham, you should end up with something "just right" - new name!!!! Looks like a Wilson Flyer to me. Just ensure it has dry bilges, ESP if it is foam filled. Some for the old foam was absorbent and hold water making it heavier than it should be!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Nash Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Rob, the bilges can be seen through the hatches, there is no foam. As for the name we were thinking "Fishin impossible" or "Reel Deal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Nash Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks Nigel. I will take my time (while I have the Raider) and look at other boats of similar design to get ideas. If the Raider sells than I will have to do the basics so I can get back on the water as soon as possible. I pick up a Suzuki DF115 tomorrow .
