I found this 76' rayson craft in dry storage at cottenwood cove lake mojave, It had bin stored and hasent seen the water since 1988. I boughted her, met with todd in january of this year and got started. Its bin alot of fun and a real learning exsperance. I wanted to show before and after pics now that shes done and say thanks to everyone for the help and advise. And a specail thanks to Todd Griggs.
Here she is a little over 6 months later. I did alot of the work my self with the help from the following.

Very nice work BTW. I have a 1978 Marlin that was completely turn key when I bought her, just needed a lot of work and TLC. She's all together now..just waiting on the gas tanks and me and a buddy are working on building the seats as we speak.

very cool. todd and bruce are both stand up guys and do excellent work. glad to see your dream come true, or atleast your project turn out so good. hope you have many years of enjoyment out of it and keep the boat alive. too many have been going to the way side because they are not the full on race hulls. Bruce? i see your give a way in the spam section. if i had a trailer for it id even stick my outboard on it and keep it alive. then again i know how limited of space you are. anyhow, congrats GBW for the great resurection.
