It’s currently without cushions but just see it as a blank canvas to work with 😉 Will he be up for a straight swap ? NO....... forget it then. Think the Mrs would literally kill me if I blow her extension budget on a new boat...🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 £150k.... more of buying a house than having an extension 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 @Jon cook I've lost track. Where are we with your search? Are you seeing a Raider or did I make that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon cook Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Thats a bit over zealous @JonC 😂 So, the Raider is still on the cards, logistics has prevented me me from getting down to see it... now with Tier 4, an xmas it may be a few weeks but the seller is fine. I've been invited out on a local Raider cuddy next week, but weather may put a stop to that. Im still looking else where an scouring the tinternet for alternatives.

Odyssey Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 There is a lovely Orkney Pilothouse 20 with good condition trailer in Swansea for 15k. Engine only got 180 hours on it and just been serviced. If you’re keeping it on a mooring, you can sell trailer and have a bargain boat...

Saintly Fish Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 @Jon cook This has just come up for sale from one of my fishing club members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon cook Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks chaps., keep em comming. That raider 16 is unfortunately all the way up in Scotland..... I was talking with a guy who's owned both an steered me away from the 16, on account of the the 18 being a much more capable boat. Tier 4 has delayed me seeing the Raider cuddy which ive previously posted about. I'm assured its not going anywhere as its not advertised. Merry christmas one an all. Thanks for all the pointers Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The raiders still in Bournemouth, what with Covid / lockdown i won't travel down to see it. Sadly theres to many flouting it as it is, I wont add myself to that list! Despite that, im still looking about... A friends father in law recently passed from this dreaded virus an was a keen boat angler. He had a boat in an Essex marina, which they know nothing about an want me to advise them on re selling etc. He died in early december, an with the family not knowing anything about it, i've suggest they find out sharpish where its at. All they know was that it was used regularly an that its on a trailer, thus launched as an when....... could be something, but on the other hand might just be another wild goose chase. When I find our more I'll be asking for advice. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon cook Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the heads up, I'll give em a buzz tomorrow. Looking on the website, I'm thinking that its likely sold as its not actually listed on their for sale section, but ya never know. A shetland 536 has come up local to me, very well priced an with a good engine / electonics package. Been busy googling them if anyone has opinions.
