I'm Ryan Deeds, I live in Clarksville, Tennessee, and my home river is the Cumberland River.

This site is where I keep the story of buying a Raider Coastal 230 named “Doreen”, along with the other boats we kicked around and the river stuff I've been reading up on, and the build films are up on YouTube too.

I don't work for Selkirk Marine or Raider, I'm just an owner writing it all down, and if it turns into something good enough for merch someday that would be pretty cool.
