I’m going to attempt to restore a newer rolled edge style Sunfish. The hull has seen better days and needs several cracks and dings repaired. However, the hull is one of the lightest I’ve ever felt, almost like it’s missing it’s foam block guts.
So I started cleaning up the hull from what looked like 10 years of mold and dirt this afternoon and sure enough, the deck is really soft. So a friend and I picked it up and rocked it back and forth. It sounds like all 3 of the front blocks have come lose. There are no inspection ports and the hull has not been split yet.
So, how difficult is it going to be to split this hull with the new rolled edge? Find the seam and use a knife or dremel tool similar to the older style edge, or a different technique?
