I am Neal...I live in SW Florida..on the water..here is my story
neighbor gave this sunfish last week, I don't sail ( im 49) want to learn and this seems to be the lil vessel to do that with...not in horrible shape it has a newer sail and rudder/dagger boards are rough but should be able to restore them in decent shape...
I have added a few hull pictures, I am starting there..
My back ground
I am marine manufactures rep have been for 20+ years..( own the company)
we rep lines like Beckson Marine, Meguiars, Shakespeare and Buck Algonquin
also Kardol for you glass/acetone guys, plus several other great companies as well
I plan on starting on bottom of the hull, it will need some keel repair with new glass, but the cracks are not severe and should easily be sanded primed and painted..
I have not got that far as paint, since I am in the industry awgrip is and option and other hi end urethane's or brightside from Interlux ( great easy product)...
I do need tips on going back original as possible for 74...? I will post the transom numbers for you guys to decipher..
Thanks looking fwd to the adventure...not sure pics did not load I use Photo bucket? Help there too? Sorry
