I prime absolutely everything I paint that's not using a paint/primer in one. That said, i never see a reference to priming on this boats. How essential or unnecessary is priming on a Sunfish???
To use or not to use a primer depends entirely on what paint you are using and the surface you are putting it over. If you have existing paint on the Sunfish the biggest issue you have is determining what the old paint is. You need to know this because any new paint you apply might lift the old paint or not stick properly. (You can either sand it all off or do a 'test patch' with the new paint to see what happens) If you are thinking of painting the existing gel coat then it is a bit easier. Gel coat that is clean and properly sanded can be directly painted with epoxy or polyurethane paint. (Or, of course, a refresher coat of gel coat) The paint manufacturer will advise the proper steps for preparing the surface and whether or not their paint needs a primer as many newer paints are self priming.I prime absolutely everything I paint that's not using a paint/primer in one.
