Hello all. Just picked up a Craigslist Sunfish for a cool hundred bucks! It's a 1971 as far as I can tell from the internets. Been sitting in a guys yard for 9 years and he finally gave it up. All the goods are there but the tiller is cracked and I'm going to have to have one fabbed.
Sanded the hull down rolled 3 coats of anti-fouling paint (man that stuffs pricey huh?) wet sanded between and the waxed it - was the wax a mistake? Buffed the topside with rubbing compound and waxed it but it still looks yellow and dingy especially with the nice new white bottom. I'v had it out once, transported on my roof rack for the first and last time. My sisters boyfriend gave me an abandoned jet ski trailer off one of his rental houses so I'm looking for advise on the wight distribution. Do I have too much stern hanging off the back?
^this picture is kida deceptive theres maybe like 5 feet hanging off, maybe longer runners?
Im in South Louisiana so we have plenty of water. Ive got a small university lake a couple miles away, a large old Miss river oxbow - False River about 45 min away and LAke pontchartrain an hour away. Just need some trailer tires and some wind!
