This past weekend I went to look at a used Sunfish and what I saw was
odd. It appears to be a genuine Sunfish hull compelte with "Sunfish" decals
but there is no Hull Identification number or even a metal deck plate with a serial number. It also has the cockpit storage compartment under the aft deck but it also has the old style bronze rudder fittings and old style rudder blade design. Last, the splash rail is not the standard Sunfish design. It is solid, triangular in cross section and it joined at the apex of the "V" by stainless steel straps, and it does not look like a homemade retrofit.
I vaguely recall that Alcort made a boat that sold through Sears Roebuck in the early 1970's. Is this one of those boats? If not, what is it?
