Aquapro Raider 1200

Came across this Raider today while checking out the Maritime museum in San Diego Bay.
Couldn't believe the beam on this thing
Looks like quite a few dollars tied up in this one!

I know what you mean about the beam on this thing! I could dock mine between the tubes and still have room to spare!

think the tubes only come into play when manouvering"violently" or to cushion the hull in rough water. Otherwise as you say,wil never touch the water in normal use.

Docked this in the "posh Marina" In San Diego bay,by the Yacht club;so you know has a few dollars to his name.

Wonder if he wants "to play" and go jump some waves
