Looked around and noticed we had no fiberglass Sunfish in the restoration queue, so we spotted one on Craigslist and went to pick it up. One of our restoration buddies had it but he is moving, so we picked up a 1978 AMF Sunfish and drug it home. We named her SUGAR 2, she is the new SUGAR 2 as the last SUGAR 2 didn't get painted in the Navy trainer colors like we planned. So the old SUGAR 2 got her name changed to SUGAR. Confused yet? Frazer and Skipper.
$12 dollars at the carwash, not too bad.
Added and inspection port because we could see the cleat was loose and we heard stuff rattling around. The cap makes a good template for the hole.
We go low tech with a laminate or metal blade on a jigsaw, started through a 3/8th inch pilot hole. Some folks have fancy jigs and rotary cutters. If your fiberglass is nice, put blue tape on the show of the jigsaw.
Started sanding off fiberglass patches with 40-120 grit, 40 on the blob and 120 for the overflow resin. Paint is planned for 2/3 of the hull.
Paint colors that are shooting for.
