Manta Ray Jet Boat

[wrenchdogg]

Hello everyone, Im new at this so bare with me,a friend turned me onto this site and said there was some good info an knowledgable people here. so here goes. I have a Manta Ray jet boat and the title says the year is unknown, does anyone know anything about Manta Ray Boats, It has a BBC, tunnel ram, twin 650 holleys, bassett headers,roller rockers with a solid cam. roughly 600-650 hp. The jet drive is a panther jet that has been completely rebuilt with a race package, the boat does 75-80 mph with a hand held GPS. I have entertained the idea of selling it but havent had any takers just a few ride seekers.. I have a few pictures but havent quite figured out how to post them here.. any help thanks ????

I had a buddy who had a Manta Ray...as I remember it was made locally (to me). Placentia, Fullerton, something like that. Does it still have the USCG plate next to the reverse lever? Little picture of a black Manta Ray on it?

Here's some info on Manta Ray to chew on. A little investigative work, and I'll bet you can find some people who built them.
