The Boat

Our vessel Raider Nation 2 is a 28 ft SEAWORTHY (formerly BHM)  downeast Maine built boat. A super soft riding and exceptionally stable boat, this Spencer Lincoln designed hull built by Steve Law in Maine will take you anywhere and back in comfort and security.

It is powered by an exceptionally efficient, quiet and powerful Yanmar 315 horsepower turbo diesel, giving cruising speeds of 18-20 kts and topping out @ 30kts. It is equipped with a transmission troll valve allowing us to troll as slow as .1 MPH !!! It features a very large deck with a closed in transom that not only provides ample room for fishing, but makes it very safe, especially for children!

A fully enclosed pilot house provides a warm (heated) and dry place with seating to get out of foul weather.

The V-berth provides a private full stand up head, lots of storage for belongings, and a place for those who may want to law down and rest during the day.

For Fishing:

The vessel is equipped with heavy duty Lee outriggers, allowing us to troll up to 8 lines at a time to increase hook ups when fishing live baits or many different types of lures, whether we are fishing for trophy striped bass, blue fish, school or giant blue fin tuna.

Fish deep with our pair of Cannon down riggers for controlled depth to get the baits down where the big fish hang out!!!
