Andy135 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Engine size? With a trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon cook Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I saw that this mornimg, so messaged him for more details .... 'Hi mate engine 2002 mk1 2000 had boat 5 years never gets used engines just been serviced oil ect by me run the engine ( every *) few weeks'. (*every) added by me as i presume thats what he meant. No mention of hours. Looks well priced an will sell in no time, but 4+ hours away. What put me off was the lack of use especially over the last 5 years on an 18 year old engine........ am i wrong to come to this conclusion🤔🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydavy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 definitely worth a stroll round sovereign and newhaven marinas. Are you going to need a trailer? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I've heard anything bad about the V-Tec system. Like any outboard they'll need regular servicing to keep them running smoothly.

Jon cook Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Aren't them meant to slam quite abit. Been advised against, but appreciate they are stable at anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must fast fishers slam Jon. If you don’t want a boat that slams drive slowly. GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon cook Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Good point well presented, perhaps i should have said slam more than a V hull / plaining hull. GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yep, the hull shape that gives stability at anchor is also the shape that slams when it drops back onto the water surface. Unfortunately you can't have both stability and a soft ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Wilsons will still plane, they'll just slam when they drop off or try to go through a wave. It wouldn't necessarily be a deal-breaker for me. After all, during a day long session, you're at anchor for longer than you're under way, so you may find that stability is what you value more. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Or you could go for a hybrid hull shape - shallow V at the bow, but dory style at the stern. Slams less and yet still has reasonable stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 It’s a lovely looking boat. Paul does awesome refurbs too. as for the engine, @headlighthas one, seems bulletproof to me. A lot of boat for the money there.... JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opti max still a good engine, with low hours you can always sell and look out for a 4 stroke replacement Jon cook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydavy Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hi Jon, where is the raider? Quite happy to come and view with you. Jon cook, Saintly Fish and Andy135 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiters Moon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Anyone know just how much more juicy a 115 Optimax would be compared to a four stroke? My impression is that they were about as developed as a two stroke could get. It would certainly push that Raider along nicely.
