I got a metal lathe in a trade a couple years ago and have thought about getting some brass stock and making one (some). If there are any improvements to be made I could incorporate them. Alas, I don't have one to dimension, all I have is the part attached to the hull.

I was just thinking of a screw pipe union.

Tag, does the handle stay with the dolly, or does it come apart? Would it need to? In my mind, it seems like it would need to come apart for hauling to and from the lake in my case. I'm just trying to learn here. My thinking was, instead of using 1 1/2"x1 1/4" reducing tees, go ahead and use...

How about a black sail with skull & crossbones? Pull the handle off the bow and replace it with an old hood ornament?

Okay, to be honest this is the first I've looked back at this. Checking the Ray Greene thread, my Ray Greene trim is way thicker and definitely aluminum, or aluminum like (potmetal?) But my 'Fish is thin, like a folded piece of stainless steel.

As I remember on the cooler portion, there was a board with a step in it, the top was padded and a bungie to a loop at the bottom of the cooler. I guess you put your toes under the towel bars? It has a hiking strap. ??????

As your boat is in far better and more complete shape than mine, I hereforth bestow upon you the title of "Forum Ray Greene Surf Sailer Expert". I have one piece of trim left on mine, it is different than my Sunfish trim.

Ray Greene Surf Sailer, I have one myself.

If anyone has a old cap, can they take dimensions? I've acquired an old metal lathe and it sounds like a good project.

No holes or rips, red white & blue sail on a yellow decked boat, maybe I should call her Pri Mary.

No, by all means, hijack away. Or would that be Pirate away?

This project is currently paused while my son finishes his kitchen table he made for his mother in woodshop last semester. It was pretty rough, shop teacher had 25 kids, no help and with class being 50 minutes long, its hard to get stuff done. A buddy with a cabinet shop that I do CAD drawings...

BOOMER!!!! So the trim is a little bent in places and some rivets have popped. Has anyone ever removed the trim and reinstalled it with the rivets down? It would look cleaner. I'm thinking the holes wouldn't be in the same spot and if they were, I could drill a new hole next to it. Removing...

Excellent, I have not installed the port yet, I did buy 6/32 countersunk allen screws, washers and polyloc nuts (all SS) and haven't drilled the holes. I decided (based on ya'll (I am an Okie)) not to install another port and just repair the chine.
