I haven't tried there yet. Do you think the metal plate is simply missing as in it fell off? I thought they were riveted on or something. I see why you say it has to be no later than '69 because that's when AMF bought Alcort. So that's pretty good in narrowing it down. Can't be younger than 1971...
Aquired this sunfish, can't figure out the age. Read the pages on yahoo group but some things just don't add up. I know it's in the 60's but want more specific info.
Has no metal plate with serial number and of course nothing on the transom.
What do you guys thinkg based on the pictures?
Anybody have any exerpience witht he Zhik hiking strap. I need to purchase a hiking strap and was debating between the sunfish logo one and the Zhik. THe Zhik is only $10 more so not a question of price really. I would think that the Zhik gives you better grip with boots but I wonder if the...
It did come with the plastic saddle but no screws or bolts for attachment. I like the idea of bolting it through and recessing the heads from underneath.

I knew you removed the swivel base. I was just wondering what size eyestrap you got that allowed you to use the existing holes in the deck from the swivel base. I just placed the order and I got the Harken H281 Micro eyestrap. I also ordered the medium standup boot from APS and the carbo...
Repete,
What size eyestrap did you use to fit into the existing holes of the swiveling camcleat. I have the same on my boat and want to replace it with the harken carbo ratchomatic. Also, where did you get the aluminum backing plate and plastic?
Thanks

I just aquired a 1973 super porpoise. I have no idea how to get this thing rigged up and the previous owner was not a sailor and didn't really know what they were talking about. The boat pretty much needs all new lines, cleats? etc.
It's also missing the drain plug, rudder pin and the mast has...
