They made Manta Rays, Sun Rays, and Sting Rays. Whatever the ray, these were IMHO definitive. They were a company in Buffalo, NY and Munro, Ontario. Here is one.

another boat goes to the graveyard.
While there were 1000s of classic mid century fiberglass boats?
The only two designers that I really appreciate are Bill Tritt for Glasspar and Raymond Loewy for Dorsett.
Check out the boats!

Thanks for these links...
I love the Dorsett Seahawk...
Never was a fan of Glastron's G3.
Do you know if Loewy actually designed the Dorsett, or was it someone in his studio?
