Picked up this Grew, a boat manufacture here in Canada, Sunfish at the end of the 2009 summer. I have not heard of Grew making the sunfish in any history that I have seen? The hull has no plate or serial # that I could see. I got the boat from the original owner and he could not remember if he got it in the early 1970's or 1960's. Boat was taken out of use when it became water logged. They attempted to repair but only got as far a striping all hardware removing all aluminum edging (trashed and long gone) and separating the complete deck and most of the cockpit ( a no no ). Hull has been sitting unused for the past 20+ years I removed what was left of the offending foam and washed out the inside of hull and it has being drying out since September, about 7 months. Hull is very light so that is encouraging though needs 3 repairs along chines where it sustained impact. Most likely the cause of water leak.
Wondering if there is any alternative plastic rub rails out there as all new aluminum is not going to be cheep?
Has anyone ever done successful complete deck and cockpit removal? Would be nice to put in the newer style cockpit with storage if a used one could be obtained.
I have to pick up the spars and sails for this Sunfish as they were stored at a different location and I will base my decision on whether to ad this to the fleet on the condition of the spars and my time to complete the job (wife).
