    PRACTICE beats PANIC!!

    PRACTICE beats PANIC!! With the season right around the corner, when the wind picks-up, I have started to get antsy to get out on the water. This last Sunday we had mid 70’s temp here in mid TN, with a wind out of the southwest around 12-15 mph. The lake surface temp is 52, which didn’t...

    DVD

    Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the "Back to Basics for Sunfish World Championship Speed" DVD? I have seen another DVD listed on a couple of sites, "". Has anyone watched either of these? Steve

    Last time out for the year!

    That would be helpful! I am going to have to try that one as well. Where do you keep your phone stored on board? I end up with mine double ziplocked in a pro storage fat bag. My boat stays dry inside, I guess I am just paranoid about the phone.....

    Last time out for the year!

    The one I used is Map My Fitness. It seemed to work pretty well! Have you had a chance to check any others?

    Last time out for the year!

    I hope that everyone enjoyed the season as much as I did! My first year in the Sunfish was GREAT! The last time out I used a Running Ap on my I-Phone to track my day on the lake.... 15 miles in 3 hours and 20 minutes! Not a speed record, but it was a GREAT day on the lake!! I was...

    I am a new "newbie" looking for advice!

    Yes I did. I never thought that the "roll and tip" method would work so well!

    Rustoleum topside

    I was wrong! I used Interlux on the deck.... and the Rustoleum was what I used on the bottom of the hull.... I guess I'm getting old!

    Rustoleum topside

    I used Rustoleum on the deck. After the first coat of primer I waited 24 hours. Temp was in the mid 60's. But I learned to do the coats early in the morning, before it warmed up too much. After the paint was no longer tacky, I set the boat out in the sunshine until sundown. I also tried to keep...

    Is There An Easier Way?

    I think there is a technical term for what I ended up with..... "OVERKILL"!

    Boat Paint Fiasco

    I did one coat of Rustoleum primer along with two coats of Rustoleum Topcoat. I went over the bottom before priming with a sandable paste made by bondo, filled the cracks and sanded it all smooth. I also sanded with 220 between each of the coats. One tip I can give you is to do it early in...

    Thanks to everyone! I found an older Sunfish that I have been going thru and cleaning up the last couple of months....

    Is There An Easier Way?

    When I bought the boat it had a spring, and was mounted to the inside of the lip of the footwell with an eyestrap. If the spring was stronger, the block would have been sticking into the middle of the footwell! Back in February I had posted a question about the block and spring. That is why...
