Donny Bennett has listed his 25' Sea Raider. He has been an inspiration to me for my boat and others I am sure.

Below is a part of a E mail his wife sent me the other day.

"We need to sell our beautiful boat and trailer fairly quickly. It is insured for $13,000 , (10K for the boat, 3K for the trailer. It is in excellent condition, needing only some minor work to be ready for the water. Donny thinks it's easily worth $15 with all the upgrades he's done, SeaStar hydraulic steering, dual radios, SeaKey satellite system, Bennett trim tabs, etc., but we are looking for a quick sale in the $13K range, with a $12K minimum.

Do you know of anybody who can help? We have TONS of pictures at:

And recent pics taken last week at:

And here:

Do you know of anybody who'd be willing to take her off our hands quickly, Bob? They are bringing him out of the coma next week, and Donny will be able to hopefully answer any questions about it, but I will do my best, too. Also, our four sons have all worked on it with him, so they know the boat well too.

The money will be used to pay off the rest of our mortgage so my sons and I can stay in our home when he passes away. Can you help us?

Barbara Bennett"

I see "Magog" on the back of the boat. Is that Magog, Quebec?
Is this a Canadian Sale?

Great looking boat
