You sure its Mk2 you want? They are rare as hens teeth were only in production for 12 months and take 2 x 150 outboards

Thanks for asking him, ideally want a Mk2 due to the seating configuration.

He said mk3's have the same seating.

He only has mk1's for sale. I'm seeing him on Tuesday if you want me find out any more.

Apparently there's a mk2 on Apollo duck

Yep the Mk3 does have the same seating arrangement as the Mk2, has the MOD released any Mk3's from service?

Thanks

There's a mark two on boat shed too. Sys it's under offer but lots of deals fall through

I spent some time yesterday helping my friend with one of his raiders.

He said the mk2's weren't very good and were shelved after only 12 months of production. The were very thirsty with twin outboards.

He only has mk1's and mk3's and when he gets them they have most of the parts missing

Here's what to expect...

This is a mk3 which I think was converted to outboards???

Here's the mk3 I've been working on putting the communications system in which is fantastic to talk to others on the boat and vhf and other radios too.

Ok, I know that a few months have passed but.....there's a Mk3 on Ebay at the moment.
These were one of the best Raiders ever built, inboard Yamaha STI 420 with Hydradrive leg, same seat config as the Mk2 (these ran with twin 140's and went like sh*t off a shovel...v fast but v juicy on the petrol).
Mk3, proven craft made to spec for the Royal Marines who "upgraded!" a few years ago to the larger ORC, but the army still use the Mk3..........the MoD sold off the excess RM craft to joe public via the Desposal Agency.

RIGID RADAR MK3 - 7M LONG WITH 250HP EVINRUDE ETEC OUTBOARD

Allant, it's a Mk2, don't know that much about the Evenrude engine only that this craft was originally built to run with twin 140 (some had twin 135hp).

PAT original poster wanted a MK2 who are we to disagree
