raider 16

[mike02380]

my search for a boat continues, does anyone in the club have a raider 16 or fished off 1? i have seen a few used ones with 50hp engines, is this enough?

 

 

cheers

I have a raider 16 and would be glad to offer any advice I can. I have sent you a pm with phone number incase you want a chat about them.

In theory a 50hp is adequate if your fishing 2 up, If as I do occasionaly you carry 3 (four is possible but a bit crowded and stretching safety) plus loads of gear you might be better thinking of a 60 or 70 hp engine so it doesnt have to work quite as hard. I use a 70hp and it will still plane without too much bother carrying three and a load of gear.

If you have not looked already it may give you some food for thought.

 

Good hunting
