StingRay - a 1969 Sooy 280 Hydroplane

 

The Sting-Ray was built by Dick Sooy in May's Landing, New Jersey. This was not a kit boat, but purchased as a built hull with hardware less engine by the original owner. Raced successfully from 1968 to the late 1970's. Powered by a professionally rebuilt 1967 Plymouth 273. Hull was rebuilt/restored by, Frank M Weeks Yacht Yard 2008-2009. Quality materials and craftsmanship throughout ! Over $35,000 in receipts. All new plumbing, electrical and fuel systems. All chrome re-chromed and all aluminum polished. Original trailer restored using original parts and new old stock parts. Also included in sale is the original 273 that ran in the boat when built on rolling dolly. Lifting slings also included. Many original race photos and newspaper articles included  Ready to Show and Go. The looks are pure 1960's, great looking and running. Another restoration I currently am involved in warrants the sale.

Asking $27,000 - negotiable

For Sale:

1956 Thompson Sea Skiff

 

This boat was fully restored 4 years ago, but she could use a fresh coat of varnish and hull paint. She comes with a vintage 1958 Evinrude Lark 30 HP with electric start. She rides on a vintage Tee Nee trailer that needs a coat of paint. The boat takes 2-3 days to swell up and after that she's as tight as a drum. Fresh water use only. This is a great boat at a great price. At 15 feet she handles big water very comfortably and turns heads wherever you go. The work required to bring her back to perfect shape would involve 8-10 hours at the most. Hate to let her go but I already have a 22 foot 1949 Chris Craft to keep me busy, and the wife wants the garage back!
