Sold the raspberry today....not sure how i feel about it yet..... 

Wow, after all that history you dug up on it...  I hope the new owner is going to continue the restoration back to original. 

well thats pretty crappie!

Good , more room for you. Now get that other boat done and go out and be someone's DADDY

they come and go, as long as they go to a good home and not the dump

I know the raspberry went to the best home it could....even better then what I could provide it. I honestly don't have the time or money to give it the justice it deserves.

I wouldn't have sold this boat to just anyone and I never advertised it publicly. Actually, Ron came to me asking "what are you going to do with it now you have the liberty".....and followed it by "if you do ever decide to sell it, let me know"....after I hung up on the phone I sat there and thought about it long and hard. It was one of the tougher decisions I have made in a long time.

My attention is now on the liberty and probably always will be and the raspberry would sit and be forgotten about.....I am glad I got a chance to sell it to someone who is just as excited about it and its history as I am and has every good intention of it as I ever did.....instead of someone painting flames on it again.

Along with the ras, Ron got the oil painting, a ton of pictures on CD (old originals and of the project build), the old registration from '75, and some random rootin tootin rasberry nick nacks ive collected off ebay.

It went to a great home and is still within the SCJB family. It will ride again someday soon.

haha

At first I couldnt believe what I was reading when Brad told me in chat . When you told me Ron made you an offer , it was like new hope . A restoration like this is a huge undertaking and if anyone could do it justice , it's Ron . Congratulations Ron and my excitment for the Ras has grown .
