I saw the Raven again in 2001 rotting in a boatyard in Grant, Florida. It was for sale by Projectboats.net, having never been back in the water or completely repaired since it sank in '89. One of the engines had been replaced with a normally aspirated 250 CHevy, the other engine was missing. The asking price was $2,000, which when coupled with the estimated $16-18K I figured it would take to restore her to useable condition, was more than I could do. She was finally purchased by someone in late 2002/early 2003.

I saw the "Raven" in Grant also. I was going to snag it and had nightly visions of stripping her down and turning it into a custom "Gucci CC" .
Things just didn't work out because of transport costs. As I remember the final selling ticket was $500. The boat had sat so long, I think a tree had germinated in the wet wood and was growing out of the bridge
