Just a little history about the SunRunner boat company kinda interesting,
I think that the "American Made" Sun Runner boats were made at a factory in Spokane, Washington. There is a Company from down-under that also uses the Sunrunner name, but they are different boats altogether.
The Sun Runner was a patented, deep-V, high freeboard, designed hull, that was (I have heard) very sea-friendly, and produced a nice, dry ride. The actual design of their hulls was patented, and I have not seen another like it--since. Some folks think that they used a Wellcraft-designed hull, but I don't think so.
It is also my understanding that the boat came with an unlimited warranty on the hull itself--and it is or was the strongest 'glas powerboat hull ever mass produced.
SunRunner Boats was foound to be in a particular hard spot when the bank that was providing funding called their note when it found out that the owner's were not 'living up to' the contractual obligations (they allowed one of the children to make decisions - a particular no no since the bank had to bring legal actions several years earlier that causedd the reorganization of the company.)
Remember this was a family owned and operated business that was grown by the oldest son of the founder of Fiberform boats of Spokane.
The 'Old Man' had sold Fiberform in the '70's and had a no compete clause with US industries for ten years. The oldest son stared SunRunner ran it into the grouond forcing the 'Old Man' ouot of retirement to salvage some investment he had in the company. reluctantly he brought the business back to life grew it from 55 employees and loads of debt to nearly 550 employees when they were forced by the bank to sell.
The buyer was a "rea piece of Work" from back in the New England area and had wreaked havoc on the employees, the asetts and the properties.
THE END
