Re: Raider 18 cuddy
hi tim we have just got a raider 16 cuddy with a 60 hp mariner we have ran it a few times and so far very happy with it easy launch and retrieve light on fuel .we had a wilson flyer 23 ft a bit big for 2 lads with a 175 merk on it .we have done a good few jobs on it rod holders, bait board ; extra fuel tank . the raider 18 is a lot bigger fish 4 easy but with a 75 hp you could go bigger the 16 is rated to 75 hp 18 is rated to 140 i think i have seen them with 100 hp push along well there might be a few little things against it on the drift cathing the wind, no built in fuel tank, . but over all there a nice boat well in the money safe fishing boat 3 ft free board hope this helps
