Looking at a 26 Rum Runner this weekend...
Gonna check out the 26 RR someone posted on the CL here...
Curious if there is anything I should be looking for or at?? What kinda speeds would this boat run with twin 200 O/Bs? I already know from reading everything here it'll be a great rough water boat... Also, what do you think this boat is worth if everything checks out?? Heres some details... 1990 26' Rum Runner $16,000 2 freshly rebuilt 2.5L 200hp O/Bs CLE gearcase new waterpumps 4blade merc props K planes lathem steering stainless marine bracketry new interior trailer incl supposedly ran 70s with 3 blade chopper http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut2.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut3.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut4.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut5.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut6.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut7.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cdaniel525/sut8.jpg |

It had a pretty decent hull with a few scratches here and there, nothing major... Interior, upholstry and everything looked good. Engines were rebuilt in 2000, but not 100% sure what was done, didnt have time to pick apart the receipts... But at this long its been so long theyre plenty used in my opinion? |
I would think you would be looking at 70-73 or so with stock 200's and a three bladed wheels. Depends on where the have the X set at. 4 blades were always slower but they did provide a little better control up stairs. With 2.5 OS I ran 86-87. That was with Mazco wheels. I think they are no longer around? 26 is a great boat!

Sweet... Thanks for the reply! I can deal with something around 70
Any ideas on what I should be offering?? Feel free to PM me |
I had the Only single outboard ever rigged. it ran good. needed alot more setup than i had time for. Check for moisture on the transom. Mine was originally rigged by someone other than Sutphen, and had a moist transom. i tried to dry it out. it was still super stiff, but i underestimated how bad it was before i sold it. The guy who bought it will get it going better than i had time for. I felt like a D-bag for telling him it was good. but in my defense, i was not aware. We agreed on a price that we both we comfortable with, but i still feel bad about the whole deal.
bring a moisture meter, and put alot of weight on the floor. i didnt weight enough to get it to flex like the new buyer did. They are awesome hulls. nothing Compares to them really. take a sea trial on it and decide from there depending on how dry the transom is. If sutphen rigged it, you should be pretty safe. the Latham steering is worth 3k at lease If the motors run well, thats at least another 5k Stainless marine brackets are top notch and not cheap Those look like 280 Kplanes: 1500 Im sure you can work out a good deal |
Dont worry the boat is dry!
