I wonder what made Richie Sutphen Sr decide on a 26 degree deadrise for the RumRunner model back in the day. That may be the steepest deadrise ever on a go fast hull, must be a true wave crushing Cadillac ride DonziChris

The Sutphen family designed the Rum Runner 26 from scratch. It is the only go-fast to carry 26 degrees of deadrise V making for what must be a plush ride in rough water.
With todays power options, I always wondered how the Rum Runner would do with a monster single motor. I believe that they are laid up heavy.
Fantastic looking boat ....................
