Hey guys. Sorry for the 4 year delay. I haven't signed on here since 2010. Sorry. I will make a parts list for you guys. ASAP. BTW I still use this dolly and it works great. I actually use the extension to rest on my trailer as I push the boat onto the dolly. If you look close you can see that...

just so everyone knows I have a spare mast step from a donor boat. For future reference.

Sorry. I actually ordered a standart 5" Beckson port. But when I went to pick it up at the marina it was this style. They guy appoligized. So I told him it was awesome and a better design. Im installing it on my 83 Sunfish. So I can do some repairs.

Well guys I found this awesome 5" 1/8 Turn-lock inspection port from Beckson. Its got a unique design. It locks in without threads and the screw on top completly covers any screws and protects port from any leaks from the top by eliminating the seam where the traditional port screws down. It...

My old bow handle prettymuch corroded off my boat. I think it was alluminum plated chrome. So Im wondering if they changed it to stainless. Because the new one I have seems heavier. anyone know if it has changed.

Okay so here is the dolly that I made this weekend. It cost me about $50.00 to make. and it can be broken down so it can fit in my Ford Escape while I trailer the boat. Ill post parts list and instructions at some point this week. I used wide tires and used a line to stabilize the extension...

I never said that I was going to dryit out with out a port. Read what I wrote. Im installing a port to dry the boat out and im doing it on the deck of the boat between the coaming and the daggerboard trunk. I feel that gives me the best access to the foam blocks and the important areas of the...

Okay so after some inspection the crack transfers through to the fiberglass. but only about 5inches long. I tipped the boat on its side and tried to drain any water that was in the hull through the drain plug. Also the sunfish only drips from the crack after it begins to heat up in the sun...

There is a crack in the gelcoat in the bottom keel downt he center of the hull on either side of the daggerboard slot. It runs from front to back. well the boat has been moved to a couple of sawhorses in my back yard and I am drying it out. Well I noticed a wet spot on the ground and looked up...

Last year when I was out in the surf on my boat I noticed the cockpit seemed like it was slapping against the hull. I know its not disconnected but would it hurt pour some expansion foam into the gap between the hull and the cockpit? I know its not the foam blocks in the front because I...

I dont think two quarts are enough. So 1 gallon would be less money than three quarts. If the bottom comes out good Im gonna do my other boat. also I havent done work to it yet. Removeing the trim is not that big of deal. Just drill out the rivets. Ive done it already i can remove all the trim...

I'm gonna gelcoat the entire bottom of one of my sunfish. It's a 1986. the gelcoat isnt worn out but its getting there. The previous owner kept her covered on a beach and the motion of water occasionally hitting it has worn some good abrasions over the whole bottom. I have wet sanded most of...

The wind hit it at the side of the boat. So it must have acted like a airplane wing. Im so happy the boat is intact and it landed softly.

So today up here in MA we had a pretty big rain and wind storm. I was pulling into my driveway and straight in front of me is my sail boat. But not where I had it. IT WAS IN THE AIR! It was pretty much flying. The wind picked it up off the trailer and it landed 8 feet away on the ground...
