Thats what I thought....believe it or not, I am looking forward to it. You know..the funny thing about the sunfish, when something breaks on it, unlike any other watercraft I have ever owned, I really look forward to fixing it. There has to be some kind of magic they install at the factory. This...

Okie dokie, so I bought an air pump that you use to air up air mattresses. stuck it in the drain hole turned it on and painted the fish with soapy water this weekend. the leak was in the mast steep. the bottom had come loose, and it had a fat crack aft that ran top to bottom, obviously I had to...

lovin the coffee table idea. You could use the cockpit to ice your beer down, it should hold enough to get you through the storm, and if the water gets to high you always have an escape plan. good luck and let us know how it goes.

hey Scott, I picked my first one up from west coast sailing http://www.westcoastsailing.net/ it was a six inch, I think I gave 21.00 for it. it seems to be working fine. I also picked a 4" up off of ebay for around 10.00 all total. hope this helps. Jackson

thanks Erik, I actually picked it up about an hour ago. It is in perfect condition, it has an aluminum rudder, and a sunfish rig.....wich I am incredibly excited about. I am going to take it out this evening. I gave 300 even, considering the shape of the boat I felt that was more than...

today I am going to look at a used minifish. does anyone have an opinion about this little boat? will it hold a fat old man and a skinny 11 year old? what would be a reasonable offer. what should I check for? ect.ect.ect. thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.~jackson

ah yesss.... DUCK TAPE. that is definitely a tool I am familiar with. thanks a million

thanks for the info...if it is the dagger board slot, how do I fix it?

hello, I have an 11 year old nephew who recently had an older sunfish given to him. it had been sitting in the weather for a number of years. so the first thing we did was scrub it down and wax it. then we cut a hole in it and installed an inspection port. wowzers, it was 3/4 full of water, I...
