One of them has been work on and the other is disassembled. The interesting thing about these boats is that they do not have steps on the bow, the self-bailing holes are about 3 inches wide and the console used to be on the back of the boat with a leaning post. The rest of the boat is open with several anchor points throughout the floor. Does anybody see one of these before? What were they used for? vsuarez attached the following image: [9.04Kb] Edited by vsuarez on 08/11/19 - 5:26 PM

Each Guardian/Raider was truly custom built to the client's request. Many CPD boats are one-off's. While CPD did have template "models", these were used as a starting point. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
