I like what you have done. It appears that you have solved all the problems I have encountered. I never thought of using PVC. The sound you may hear is my hand slapping my forehead while exclaiming DUH!! Could you send me some details like size of pipe and axle details, if this info is...

It appears that you have solved all the problems I tried to, but I didn't think about PVC. The sound you may hear is me slapping my forehead! Could you send me pipe sizes and lengths, etc. if this info is in an easily sent file? I am particularly interested in the axle details. It looks like...

I believ it is a Glastron Alpha. Seems like the guy I got it from said that. It is much heavier than I was expecting. Me and the boat are both old and ugly. I thought I could get on my truck, but it wouldn't work. It was too heavy. At first I thought I heard water sloshing. I put in 2...

I'm new at this. I recently bought a 70s Glastron 15" Sunfish-type sailboat and it is apparently heavier than most of what is out there. Due to being a 70s model myself, I have trouble loading and unloading and I thought rollers may help. Does it hurt to just leave it on rollers with no...

I have read more about drying hulls than replacing styrofoam. Should that give me hope that I may be able to dry mine out and sail along my merry way? (I'm not sure how to reply so I will add it here also)

I just bought a SF and never had anything to do with one. From what I knew about the specs, I thought it seemed heavy. Now I hear water when I turn it over. I'm hoping I don't have to replace a bunch of styrofoam. What happens if it isn't replaced?

I am new to Sunfish and forums. I just bought a used one. When I turn it over I can see and hear water. It appears to be much heavier than it should. I have read about putting inspection hatches. Doesn't seem like there is much to it. I have found very little about water logged styrofoam. Also...
