    Cutting out inside filling foam

    I decided to go the attached bucket route. I really dont care to race in die hard sunfish classes. Ive also decided to throw out the front hatch idea. Any concerns in the rear near the transum on support issues is solved for good. the back could handle the weight thanks to the curved fiberglass...

    Identifying age of a Sunfish?

    Check on the back of the transum. If you dont see any serial numbers that means its been sanded down. I belive its the last to digits.

    Thanks for your input! There isnt any concern for the rack storage at my yacht club. And I understand that some people are just playing around but it would be nice to see a "lol, j/k, :p , ;) , :D " to indicate humor. Like wise, I'm done cutting out any foam in the 8" area of the rear...

    removable splash rail??

    Yea, velcro does sound like a good idea. I would take a trip to your local marine store and get MARINE VELCRO. Its not a brand but its more of a type and gernerally more coarse and tougher. I took mine off and just plan to use the same holes with a marine adhesive. There were one or two...

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Well, im not really removing that much structure foam. Im only going to be removing 4 inches from the back. A small portion of foam will be remove so an 8" diameter basket can go down in the hole. Basically it wont really be affecting the boat much. However, the foam isnt water logged thankgod...
