Default FS: 18' BOSTON WHALER Raider - Commercial,Dive,Rugged in iowa!!!

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.

Thanks
