Default 18' Boston Whaler Raider - Dive, Commercial, Rugged

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=2468535 382

"unsinkable" 1989, 18'6" Boston Whaler Raider RRC, and trailer. This
boat is really rugged - built for US Marine Special Operation units
to "...conduct amphibious raids on short notice at night in adverse
weather conditions from over-the-horizon via air or surface means
against distant inland targets." It's one of a small number built by
Boston Whaler's Commercial Products Division, which was formed in 1983
to produce heavy duty combat, law enforcement, fire/rescue and general
purpose workboats.

Military documents say it's designed for "...deployment from
amphibious ships 20 miles from shore, ..in varying sea states, up to
and including Sea State 3/Beaufort Force 4, and surf zones
characterized by predominantly spilling breakers with a Significant
Wave Height of six feet and a period of 17 seconds for trained
coxswains."

This boat is rare, of unique design, and extremely heavy duty - the
ideal boat for commercial work, heavy weather conditions, diving,
frequent beaching, or anything that places heavy demands on the hull
..

For more information and bidding go to link above.

Thanks
