WHAT IS A SUNRUNNER?

[SUNRUNNER]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND THE BOAT MANUFACTURER CALLED SUNRUNNER ON THE WEB. I BELIEVE THEY WERE BOUGHT OUT OR WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. I JUST BOUGHT A BOAT MADE BY SUNRUNNER AND WANT TO GET SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP!

Re: WHAT IS A SUNRUNNER?

Sunrunner was a very popular boat here in the Pacific Northwest in the late '70s and strong into the 1980's. I seem to recall the designer had ties with "Fiberform" boats...and both were manufactured in Washington state. Even "Boating" magazine ran a few lengthly articles featuring Sunrunner during it's heyday. They were pretty darned nice boats. I think you are correct in saying they are not longer being built. I've been out of the loop for a while but let me inquire with some of the locals and I'll see what I can find out. Is there anything specific you are searching for? Walt

Re: WHAT IS A SUNRUNNER?

THANKS, WALT! <br />I JUST PURCHASED A 31' SUNRUNNER FROM A FRIEND, AND WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME SPECIFICALTIONS, LIKE WHAT ENGINES AND OUDRIVES WERE STOCK IN IT, WHAT TYPE AND SIZE OF GENERATOR, CRUISING RPMS, CRUISING SPEEDS (AVERAGE) THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME THE MODEL NO. WAS 3100, BUT IT SAYS ON THE BOAT 310, AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE MISSING A ZERO. WEIGHT? AND POSSIBLY A PLACE TO GET AN OWNERS MANUAL FOR OPERATION. IT'S GOT SO MANY SWITCHES, AND I'M A BIT UNEXPERIENCED WITH A BOAT THAT BIG. I THINK ITS A GREAT BOAT, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT CUTS THE WATER REALLY WELL, AND THAT SUNRUNNER HAD ONE OF THE BEST HULLS AROUND. ANYWAY, I'M REPOWERING THE ENTIRE THING, AND WANT TO GET IT INTO THE WATER FAST. ANY HELP ANYONE CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
