Looks great tag! How heavy is the trailer with boats on them? Are you able to pick it up and move it around?

Rob, the company is Genesis Trailers out of Holland, MI. Your best bet I think would be to talk to Mark Alferink 616-836-0912 or [email protected]. He is the one who reached out to me about my design and gave the the estimated price. Seems like a great guy from our communication back and...

No, I did not end up buying the trailer. Decided that finishing off my student loans and preparing for my first born to be born took precedence. I will be purchasing it this winter and will have it fabricated and ready to rock in time for next season. I'll be sure to post pictures then. If you'd...

Thanks for the reference, this place is minutes away from my house. It's never come up on any internet searches I've done thus far

Hey that's great to know! I'm really hoping that with the dried out hull it'll really start moving, and make it easier to get on/off the water. Yes, we absolutely love the sail too- it's so pretty out on the water! My wife and I are in our late 20's, and we've been motor-boating for years in...

Thanks for the input Charlie, My fleet consists of two AMF late 70's sunfish. The first one being a 1978, the second, which I have not picked up yet I suspect to be of the same year or close. Both belonged to my uncle who was very passionate about sailing and built several of his own sail boats...

Hi, I've acquired two older boats that will need some parts. One will need a new sail.... I was going to order everything through SunFish Direct. Does anyone have any experience with this site? They happen to be in Southeast Michigan where I live so I can easily pick them up to avoid shipping...

Alright, so I've been searching around for something used and haven't found too much that doesn't involve a major overhaul. I contacted a local trailer manufacturer to inquire about some custom fabrication designs. I'm definitely leaning towards the A-Frame design. We purchased one of their...

Thank you for the information! Good to know that a strong point is the edge of the boat. This makes the A-Frame design very favorable in terms of trailering and storing the boat with minimal chance of damage to the hull. Yes, I've read that the weight is very important to consider and the type...

Hi all, I am new to the Sunfish world. This past summer I picked up a free boat from my aunt that was in good condition. She has a second boat for "free" that will need some very minor hull repair. Overall the boats are in good shape! My question is this. After spending some significant time...
