Who's making roadrunners these days

[tracerbob]

My brother's looking to buy a new Roadrunner 67 hull and wants to know where or who he can contact to buy one. His old orange and yellow cobra is ready to retire. Anybody know?

I emailed them Monday, I wanted to buy the same boat.

I was told they no longer make them. :angry:

Who's "they"??? The business went back to Ralph Almirola from Jerry Crowther of Seaducer a year or so go. Did you speak to Ralph (ph# 813-684-0015)?? :blink:

It had to be the Seaducer website as Ralph never did a website for Roadrunner that I know of either before he sold to or got it back from Jerry. Try calling Ralph directly, he's a good guy & should set the record straight....... B)

I really want to build a 67 roadrunner

Well thank you Joe. Guys, give Ralph a call & I'm sure he can take care of anyone who wants a Roadrunner. I won alot of races running Roadrunners, still a good race boat.

Sorry i gave you bad info, Just passing along info I got.

Just for information for those that are interested. Seaducer Boats was used for a year by Ralph to market the Roadrunner boats. Ralph does not have a website to do that and had to rely upon a few dealers and word of mouth to sell them. Ralph continued to build them and they were sent out by Ralph using the Seaducer Boats address and labels. Ralph was counting on leveraging with the Seaducer dealers and the great marketing program Jerry has. In the end, the concept did not turn out the way Ralph hoped would and the agreement was ended with Jerry about a year later. How do I know this? I know both Ralph and Jerry very well and got the skinny from them. I got an Extreme from Jerry during this time but Ralph built it. Jerry admitted it to me when I asked who built it. That is OK with me since the excellent Roadrunners were still being built as before. I have 8 Roadrunners of various sizes and versions.

Ralph still has no website and no e mail. Go to him directly.
