sanger or rayson ?

[hondoh]

Pink slip says '61 Sanger. What do you think ?

[DeltaSigBoater]

After looking at pictures 2 & 4 I'd say Rayson Craft, but I'm sure someone will know for fact!
Whatever it is good find.

My hull has a fiberglass piece that goes left to right @ the top of the deck behind the front seat, is this an older model ? It doesn't look like the '59 or the '61, Dash has more slope and sides of cockpit look taller? Thanks

Pull a tape measure down the middle of that thing and let us know what it is....
also pull it from the bow to the instrument panel.

The center deck was a common peice. I don't know what you have but, the similaritys to the Rayson ad are fairly convincing. Remember, Raysoncraft had many models back then.
Also, to add confusion :messedup: IMO the Guasti looks like your boat as well.

This guy wants a Sanger worse than the Rayson....In my humble opinion there is no doubt that boat is a Rayson Craft. Don't make me go Art on somebody here.

R C Lou, I tought it was a Rayson when i bought it. Just looking for more info. and maybe what year. Thanks for everyones help.

l.o.a. is 17'10' bow to dash is 94" beam is 87" and the top of the transom is recessed like the bow. Thanks.
