    Cutting out inside filling foam

    I decided to go the attached bucket route. I really dont care to race in die hard sunfish classes. Ive also decided to throw out the front hatch idea. Any concerns in the rear near the transum on support issues is solved for good. the back could handle the weight thanks to the curved fiberglass...

    Identifying age of a Sunfish?

    Check on the back of the transum. If you dont see any serial numbers that means its been sanded down. I belive its the last to digits.

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Thanks for your input! There isnt any concern for the rack storage at my yacht club. And I understand that some people are just playing around but it would be nice to see a "lol, j/k, :p , ;) , :D " to indicate humor. Like wise, I'm done cutting out any foam in the 8" area of the rear...

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Thanks for the quick reply. I understood what everybody said, and from what it looks like, the dry storage hatch has disqualified me. I wont be making any physical changes to the hull accept a paint job. O well, I digress.

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    ",,,,, and you really rented a slip for a Sunfish? That's gotta be a first." Some people dont have trailers and hitches on their cars/trucks for their boats. Or yards/driveways to store them in. *Thanks* for your concern though.

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Im really surprised that most of you have a big problem with modding a sunfish... really surprised. But you dont have to be nasty about it. But thanks for the "big warm" welcome so far. :(

    removable splash rail??

    Yea, velcro does sound like a good idea. I would take a trip to your local marine store and get MARINE VELCRO. Its not a brand but its more of a type and gernerally more coarse and tougher. I took mine off and just plan to use the same holes with a marine adhesive. There were one or two...

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Well, im not really removing that much structure foam. Im only going to be removing 4 inches from the back. A small portion of foam will be remove so an 8" diameter basket can go down in the hole. Basically it wont really be affecting the boat much. However, the foam isnt water logged thankgod...

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Hahaha. Funny. I was thinking about putting on a stereo too :D . j/k im not a ricer. I may drive a souped up honda that goes faster than the average Civic but im not in to all of that. As a matter of fact, the whole website I moderate isnt in to that. Its a pretty cool forum though it has...

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Well. I think maybe a epoxied bracket will do in replace ment of the small missing piece of foam. However, im going to make a sort of "basket" of fiberglass to keep it sealed. Ill get it done. Its the whole point of this project is to do something new and original.

    Cutting out inside filling foam

    Ok, as some of you may know im cutting hatches in the boat. Ive already done the back. I cut out an 8" hole and everything around and under it so I could put a 8" tube in there for dry storage. Ive had some people concerned about it though. They say it will kill the floatation in the back of it...
