1974 Striker Canyon Runner

The 1974 Striker Canyon Runner is a 34-foot aluminum flybridge built for offshore fishing in rough conditions. With a 14-foot beam and twin Detroit diesel engines, the boat was designed for the Northeast canyons and has been reinforced for the task—the hull was modified in 1975 to accommodate larger engines. The construction emphasizes durability and redundancy: there are no through-hulls, and raw water systems are fed by dual sea chests, each with independent stainless shut-off valves. Each engine features quick-connect flushing ports for winterization and emergency pump-out.

The interior features fresh teak and white pleated joinery approximately 90 percent complete, with a V-berth, convertible teak dinette, electric stove, and substantial storage. A custom captain's chair with hybrid tilt steering and stainless wheel sits on the flybridge beneath an aluminum hardtop. Brazilian teak lines the cockpit sole and combing, with a teak fishing chair for the working deck.

Recent work includes the hull stripped, faired, and repainted in ice blue with white topside by Directors Ship Yard in 2014. A new air-conditioning compressor and hot water heater were installed, along with forward, mid, and aft bilge pumps. Equipment includes a new Lewmar windlass with 1500 feet of line and chain anchor, engine cover cushions, a custom removable gin pole and hoist, rocket launchers, pole holders, and Schaefer spreader riggers. The boat has not been in the water for several years.
