... the one you just scored is my most favorite kit. I actually did an article on this exact kit in Model Cars back around 1987 or so - IIRC it was pictured on the cover of that issue.
I think you'll have a ball putting this kit together. Congratulations on your score. TIM
Looking forward to it, Tim, especially after reviewing your excellent gallery. Heck, any of your galleries or buildups are motivating. It unfortunately is a builtup and I can see I might need some parts. Hope maybe you can point me in the right direction for those. Also picked up a hemi hydro as well.

Mike...many of the parts (other than the hull and interior) of the Rayson Craft were recycled as the 1968 "Hull Raiser" kit. This later kit was reissued three more times with the most current reissue - the circa 2005 Model King Combo kit with the MPC 1970 Bonneville Convertible - being the most readily available and affordable.
Good luck with the reconstruction and please show us pictures....thanks TIM

Neat subjects...IIRC, wasn't one of the AMT boats reissued in the late '90s?

Looks like the Customizing boat was reissued no too long ago. I think this is mid-'90s packaging?:

The UPC appears to have been added to distinguish it from earlier issues:

I have the 90 issue,I built it to go along with AMT's 53 ford PU.It's a decent kit but is very basic. I'm thinking about redoing it.
