Hey so, pretty exciting to see what you discovered. We both concluded our Sunfish are different yet similar. Someone has suggested that these have been lengthened and setup for racing possibly. I spent a few days running image searches under many terms and did not find another one. I was...

Awesome news! Maybe this discovery is purposeful for me. My 1st Sunfish purchase was for my daughter while this racer must be for me. Since I am just embarking along this path, what suggestions can you offer me? We are actively building the trailer "2nd floor" space with collapsable rests...

Yes, I purchased the other Sunfish (my 1st Sunfish) last year. I´ve need a trailer this whole time. I live in Guaymas (San Carlos) Sonora, Mexico. Sea of Cortes (Gulf of California). I still plan on visiting the home where it was located to speak with the lady who lives there. Maybe I can...

Hey guys.

Yes. It is surely up higher. I will upload more pictures tomorrow.

Awesome. Great observation!

Thank you for your keen observations. Since I am fairly new to sailing, your words are an inspiration. Here I am hugging and tugging on my wife claiming, “a souped-up rig, can you believe it?.”

The seller was not the original owner. He had no idea how it works. I had been looking for a trailer for over a year and when I found the set I immediately pursued the purchase. As I began to observe the trailer features, I remembered where I had originally seen the trailer over a year ago. It...

Greetings, I purchased this hull and trailer yesterday and feel really curious about the tail on this hull. Is it original? If so, I'm wondering what model it is. Anyone here know? Thanks in advance. I

Greetings once more everyone. I´ve always assumed my Sunfish was a 1976 Bicentennial Edition due to similar images posted on the internet however I wasn´t quite sure. For good measure, I wanted to ask and confirm with those that know if indeed mine is a 1976. The HIN reads: AMF40942M76H I´m...

Thank you TexomaPowerboater. I have already taken steps towards finding technical support with Mixmkr method and have also been contemplating opening the deck. These fasteners now give me another option. Although I initially was excited about installing an Inspection Port I´ve temporarily...

I really like the idea of keeping the upper deck solid and intact. I live in a fishing town and we have a multitude of fiberglass panga boats that most fisherman use here locally. Sourcing materials and finding experienced fiberglass repair guys is pretty simple here. Not to mention fairly...

Very interesting information I am receiving. I really appreciate all the great insight. Would you happen to have a link to a great how-to article?

Mashmaster, what are your thoughts on the Ronstan 5" Inspection Port? This seems to be a common size for the Sunfish. Seem about right?

Hey there L&VW. Ok, I understand. I´m pretty lucky I guess. It must have seen saltwater use however the owner like myself must have been cautious to rinse with freshwater after every use. She seems to be in pretty good shape. No major corrosion. Thanks for sharing your experiences, I´ll be...

Wjejr, I appreciate these tips. Unfortunately, no bottom was found after inserting a probe in the holes. Coincidentally, the other side is also in the same condition. I´ve been thinking about my next move for a day or two now. I think an Inspection Port is my only alternative at this...

Hey there L&VW. I´m not sure I have a saltwater boat. What distinguishes them? I do not quite understand the two-loop vs. three loop bridle replacement. Do you mind sharing an ebay link? I searched the term without any luck. I appreciate it.

Thanks Dickhogg! I took the time to read the blogs articles. Great information. I believe I now have a better understanding. Once I dig in and fix my rear bridle attachment rings, I´ll set a plan on upgrading my mainsheet ratchet/cleat hardware. I appreciate the direction.

Thank you Mashmaster. I´ve been reading the "how to" articles online on how to install an Inspection Port. I appreciate the advice and will be confirming if I need to go this route or if longer screws will work. Work to do!

Hello everyone. First of all, I wanted to give thanks that this forum exists. I hope to become a long term member and look forward to learning from everyone on board. This is my 1st post. I purchased my first Sunfish last week at a great deal and the next day I decided to take her for a...
