Boy the quotes sure got messed up shows me posting Sharp Shooters post and vice verse. After looking at the Rayson Craft again, I think its just seeing shallow flatter type strake on a shallow entry type nose other than that I don't see much resemblance either. With that said at first glance they do look similar. My Dad had experimented with Shallow type strakes on the later ArrowCraft Boats they built and raced back in the late 50's. They had a 13'6" with twin 78 mercs it had a problem grabbing a chine when coming off the throttles the strakes helped out big time.
