This boat has been around since I arrived in Cape Town back in 1968, she was one of the best boats on the water then and as this picture I took last monday shows, there is nothing much thats changed.
You may well question why I have posted the picture of a power boat that is not one of our CNC cut wooden boat kits? The reason is quite simple, Marauder is a wooden boat, now at least 45 years old and still in good service. Designed by Renato Levi, she was a classic when launched and will remain so for a very long time.
The hull will be in a cold molded timber, probably laminated with resorcinol glues, she would last longer today using our laminating and constuction epoxy.
My first life raft came off this boat when DOT decided the three RFD ones on the boat were not suitable for a commercial fishing boat. I bought one of the two six man rafts for R1500.
