My impression is that they were about as developed as a two stroke could get. It would certainly push that Raider along nicely. Hi Jeff, No idea on the Optimax but good to see you on the new forum (finally!) 😉 Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Optimal uses direct injection IIRC therefore similar to EFI 4S. However more noisy. Given a raider with engine at right height and propped correctly you’ll get 0.8l/m. Depending on how far you travel/how often I doubt you’ll see much difference in rubbing costs 🙂 Jon cook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydavy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 https://www.findafishingboat.com/quicksilver-580-pilothouse/ad-114801 Interesting but a long way away. Steep money if it has done 800 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydavy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 http://www.simpson-marine.co.uk/en/1483-orkney-520-fishing-boat.html Subject to a very thorough inspection - this would make a really nice first boat. Put in marina for summer and take home in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon cook Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Busy couple if days, apologies for late replies. Thanks for engine advice @Odyssey I had kinda wanted a cleaner quieter 4 stroke, but as pointed out could consider selling it, an getting a more modern engine, but that wouldbring with it another expence. Any advice prior to seeing the Raider is welcome. Given the fact I'm a young pup, the Raider will mean having to do my B+E trailer test which I could have got away without with a smaller boat - but thats not an issue an already in hand. Kind offer @andydavy, thankyou. In had seen Mayfly back in September, I've discounted it. Im awaiting full details on the Raider an hopefully off to see it in due course. Its not actually up for sale, but reluctantly the owner has to sell it so contacted me. Guess it comes down to the money. Ive seen the Polish Raider threads which as far as i can make out related to the earlier built raiders..... its a 2006 boat.🤔🤔😬😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon cook Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks Andy. That ones been listed for a while. Fair money considering the engine age. Whilst I'm still looking about, this Raider sounds promising, hoping to see it next week, but weather dependant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) @headlight is our raider expert. He has a raider 18 and rates it highly. Maybe make a cheeky offer on his 😉 It’s got a great set up and well looked after 🙂 Edited December 16, 2020 by Odyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I didn’t know he had owned one.

Odyssey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I know of a nice 10m Cougar cat up for sale. It’s currently without cushions but just see it as a blank canvas to work with 😉 Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
