First things first. I realize old sunfishes aren't worth more but infact probably less to nothing. Also they are just boats to be used and enjoy. But it seems popular opinion is to cut inspection ports without 2nd thought. Personally i kinda cringe and feel inspection ports are just that. Functional and not especially attractive. Mainly because on an "expensive" boat. ..you dont "whack" away. You cut as needed and then in many cases repair the " incision" to never know it had been cut. Matching gelcoats as usually the route. So... just an opinion. I cut two in my '69, but they're in the cockpit wall and not on the deck. I didnt want to paint the boat but realize matching the gelcoat isn't going to happen. .. i kinda wizh i didnt cut into the cockpit either. ..but all cuts made on the bottomsides instead.
I guess I cringe a bit looking at all the "collector" guitars that were just mindlessly butchered in the 70's. But it's just wood and metal and plastic. Kinda like the fish. Not the important stuff
Any rate just felt like rambling.
Happy Sailing
