I have found out after running the numbers on the 409, its a 1962 ss 409 hp. I have posted more pics of it on v-driveboat.com ... I'm trying to get any info on it I can. I have no clue what the transmission is or how it works.. I am really glad to finally have it in my shop. The inside of the valve covers are very clean. http://www.v-driveboat.com/showthread.php?3800-Rayson-Craft-info&p=61408#post61408 Chandler
Ohhhh, I see by your picture what you mean now...you mean it's an old boat! Check the details in the pictures, it's like comparing Ford's and Chevy's!!
Chandler, since you are in the same area I am in, when you find a good stringer floor man let me know. I have a 76 hondo sprint t deck I need a floor redo and stringers. But it will have to wait untill my Model A gets done. You are lookin around the 5000 dollar range for a floor like this.Thats why mine is waiting
This boat is absolutely Hamb friendly. Great find! Something like this may just be my next project.....if there's any $ left after I finish my 41 Plym that is! Love these flatties.
I love old boats. A 409 to top! I bet that thing barely sets above water with that heavy engine in it.
Man, that thing is rad! I was raised around old boats, so I have a serious soft spot. That thing should be restored and put back in the water, no matter how temping that 409 in a roadster would be..in my humble opinion.
