I picked up a "basket case" Sunfish today, for free. (Wanted one for a while now.)
It's pretty beat up and has some clearly shoddy repairs. I'm good with my hands, have many tools, experience (home repair, cars, motorcycles, small engines and more) and knowledge -- but none with boats.
When do these animals become, "not worth fixing?" I'll give it a good look-see tomorrow.
What tell-tale signs should I look for?
PS - this thing is HEAVY, waaaay more than the 120 pounds annotated in the online Sunfish spec pages. I'm thinking that's probably a bad sign?
