Raider Aluminum Boats, located in Colville, Washington, stands as a beacon of excellence in the aluminum boat industry. With a solid reputation for crafting the toughest heavy gauge aluminum boats, Raider offers a diverse range of models tailored to both seasoned professionals and first-time boat buyers. At Raider, you'll find a commitment to providing as much boat for your money as possible, from the sturdy 188 Mariner to the formidable 290 Offshore.
Raider Boats are revered for their construction advantage, employing a substructure that is superior in strength and design. This includes a minimum of five full-length, 15 x 3 C-Channels welded to the hull's bottom, complemented by two full-length vertical stiffeners and laterals made from fully welded plates. Such meticulous attention to construction ensures each Raider boat is ready to withstand the harsh marine environment while providing a smooth and safe ride.
The Raider design philosophy centers around the Interlocking Stringer Grid (ISG) system, setting a new industry standard. Unlike the common box girder design, Raider's approach to construction ensures that each boat benefits from unparalleled hull strength, minimizing the risk of cracking or breaking welds. This innovative design principle is foundational to Raider's True Variable Deadrise (TVD) and Precision Vee hull designs, guaranteeing superior handling and performance.
