From the builder: Jason Rivera
“Of course, this would not have been possible without the RWB vision of Mike Kemp and with Vintage JetSki. In 2021, Vintage JetSki were responsible for the majority of the raffle ticket sales. Next year will be epic.
Thanks to everyone who donated time and parts to this build. The end result was worth the wait.”
