New owner here of a 1981 18ft Sun Runner. 265hp GM V6.



Seems like a solid little boat! Impressive build quality of the hull, and pretty straightforward/simple trim. Makes it easy to DIY a lot of parts at factory quality or better.

Looking forward to many years in it.

​​​​​​First question for the forum... I've got two old masts, one has a highly off angle marker light and two electrical pins on the base, the other has more of an online design and has three hole (only two are electrical pins). What's the deal with these?

Hello everyone. I am new here. Just purchased a 1987 22.5 cv Sun Runner. She needs some work but is all there. I will post some picks soon. Has anyone re-powered one to outboard? It has a mercruser 350 chevy and outdrive. I think I want a simpler set up and can do the work myself.

Picking up the Sun Runner 225 CV tomorrow. Anyone have a source for wiring diagrams for my boat?

new Sun Runner owner here! picked up a super cool looking 1989 Sun Runner 235 Weekender a week ago... looking for ANY documentation, info, specs, tips, etc with it. Just dropped it off to be given the once-over, and am really looking forward to getting her in the water. Sounds like a great little boat, based on those who own the similar 88/89 versions... excited!

hey everyone! wondering if anyone has any manuals or documentation you could share for an 88/89 235 Weekender. I just bought one of these awesome boats, and am having a hard time finding things... trying to gather as much info as I can, so I can keep her in great shape.

thanks for anything you might be able to share!

There’s not much out there with regards to sunrunner manuals. I have a clymers manual for Volvo penta and that’s about it. A lot of crawling around will help you figure things out

Hello I am new here. Owner of a Sun Runner 238 Classic. I am German, driving with my boat on the Rhine river.
Can anyone provide manuals for my boat? In Germany Sun Runner is very unknown.
