Rybo Runner Rebuild

[Screaming Eagle]

Rob, yeah only been down a few times, health problems this year. But, as I told you in the beginning, count me in! I'm looking forward to see her done and re-splashed next year. Hey, I have a few things that you may still want to use that I found. Call me when you're planning on going over to the barn.

I to restored a rybo runner mine is a 1984 with a bracket. I will be buying engines in jan or feb thinking about 250 e tecs or 300 but the 300 suzuki has caught my attention just not sure about the extra weight i added more fuel and a transom livewell so i dont want to be standing in water because the height of the scuppers what are you going to use on yours?

Cool thread. Not sure how I missed it before. Any new pics?

Man, a rebuild like that is sure a labor of love. You will have a nice looking and riding fishing boat when you are thru.... Keep up the good work

Give Wayne a call at Jersey Cape Yachts , he as produced a few of the outboard version , and is presently building a 31 with 300 hp Suzuki – 30in shaft ! The Jersey Cape 31 is a converted Rybo-Runner – without the step’s !

Here is a pic of one of the new companies building a hull off the old Rybo Runner mold. The steps were removed by this builder.

I wonder if he raised the deck for the 300 suzuki? I'll check the site to see how much fuel and livewell size and performance I'll try to send some pics of my boat it's completed except for engines took about 11/2 years.But no payment to make every month hope to be using it soon

The project was put on hold for a little bit but now I am ready to get back to it. I will try to post up some pictures this week of what will be worked on next. First will be the interior transom then below the cockpit deck then the fuel tank removal then the console. As for power I am looking at the 300 Verados but I am still a ways from that yet. Billfish post up some pics I would like to see what you have done.
