Rayson Craft Guys......

I'm not spamming this one, it's just for conversation. Found this one doing a "Rayson Craft" search. It doesn't look like it would be easy to find otherwise............

Nice looking boat. Never seen a "!2 degree" hull with strakes before.
Haven't seen a Walter's V-drive in a ***boat before either, too bad there's no pic's of it.
The 351 Cleveland engine is not common either.

This is one of the boats from DeFir Marine. It is a jet hull setup for a V-Drive,
meaning it never had a jet in it.
I saw it at DeFir in 2002. Ray was trying to sell it for a guy back east. I am assuming, this is the guy. The boat was in like new condition, when I saw it.

I'm sure that my 1959 Campbell wouldn't be considered a Hot Boat by today's standards but the Walters V-drive is just as the e-bay ad sez....quiet!

Interesting boat. This guy sure has kept it in nice condition. Not for me but it is really clean.

I gotta tell ya, when I saw it, it look like a new boat with retro colors and interior. It was perfect. Ray said the got was real anal about the upkeep. Interesting thing was, he trailered all the way out here so Ray could try and sell it for him. Must not be much demand in GA. for V-drives.
He was asking 11K OBO, back in 2002.
