Ok, as some of you know i have been looking for a jet boat project for about a year and a half, found what i thought was a cool 72 Sea-Ray Jet with an Olds 455 but it turned out to be way to rotten so i scrapped it and parted it out. Kept looking and i knew i wanted something cool and unique and not like every other boat at the lake(or river) and to me once you get into the mid-late 70's they all start to look the same, and while google searching i came across this 68 18' Rayson-Craft, and unlike most of there boats that were v-drive this one was a jet. Now from more research i found that RC only made around 250 boats a year, no exact numbers on how many were jets vs v-drives, but id say its not many. I also found this advertisement that shows a boat that looks almost identical to mine, except for the windshield, which i found was an optional accessory, im not sure if this one had it or now, and i am missing the original engine cover, but since its probably next to impossible to find one im going to build it as an open engine compartment. The boat was originally red and gold, but im thinking about doing a plum crazy purple and white color scheme and naming the boat "Plum Crazy" LOL but just not sure yet.
Anyways here is a link to pics, i have all of these posted in my other thread, so i wont re-post them here. Will post pics from this point on in this thread.
