I went to look at a used Sunfish this past Saturday. I'm looking for a boat in the 1000 dollar range for my kids to enjoy. The boat was the right weight, dry, and passed every test in the buying guidelines....in essence, I would have bought it on the spot, but it had a problem that made me not even make an offer. The hull was not "fair" on the bottom.
For example, where the drain was, the hulll was pushed in slightly, and I could definately see it was slightly concave. There was another spot that just didn't look right as well. I realize this was a mid seventies SF (AMF), but I just don't want a super slow boat. I'm not going to race this one, but I'm willing to pay for a better boat......will all the SF I look at have this condition? My 9 year old said all the boats he learned on were worse at the Canandaigua Yacht Club this past summer.
I'm new to Sunfish, so please advise.
Take Care,
Steve
