One idea. Go to a few of your local moving companies and sere if they have a move scheduled from Syracuse, NY to your area. Sometimes they will add a few small items for a very modest price and you can pick it up at their warehouse when the truck arrives. I once had a Sunfish hull moved from...
don44,
I have several good, used Sunfish masts at $65 - $75 each, but shipping is very expensive. If you have a way to pick one up in the Syracuse, NY area, I am happy to sell you one.

Sun1fish's suggestion should work but be gentle as you don't want to crack the fiberglass surrounding the bracket. Removing the bracket is no big deal as the 4 stainless screws attach to a threaded plate finerglassed into the inside of the transom. If you remove the bracket, clamp it in a vice...
OK. I will buy a buy a 205 base; I already have a newer Harken ratchet block that will pair nicely with this base,

Question: Does Harken still make and sell the smaller swivel mainsheet base like the one shown in this Crasigslist ad?: Harken Mainsheet Swivel Block, with Cam Cleat, 6", used, from Lido 14 | eBay
The seller said it came off a Lido14 dinghy amd I think it would be perfect for a Sunfish...
These are not genuine Sunfish or Sailfish rudder fittings. They probably go to a Sunfish "clone: of some sort but not a common one like the Phantom, Viking etc. Sorry I can't be more specific.

I have handled hundreds of these Sunfish coamings over the years and they are remarkably similar. Some older ones only had gelcoat on the "up" side but other than that, the shape have stayed the same. Maybe you have one from a "clonefish." Post a few photos if you can.

Hmmmm. I think this boat may have been built in Canada as the "09890" Hull ID number is not USA standard format. Others here on the forum may know fore sure. Maybe make a separate post to ask.

It sure looks good. Concerns. The inspection ports may signal a problem in the past (leaking, needed to do an interior repair etc.) so ask the seller why the ports were installed and check the hull carefully, especially the mast hole; fill it with water to deck level and see if any drains out...

Mahogany is usually the wood of choice for a transom. Find a lumberyard in your area that sells hardwood or call a few cabinet makers in your area who may have some scraps at a decent price.

If you store the boat outside, make sure it is not in a spot where ice builds up and then falls. I have seen two Sunfish hulls totaled by ice falling off an overhead roof. Be sure all the water is out of the inside of the hull and the mast hole. Expanding ice can do a lot of damage. Always...

This looks to be a good deal for somebody looking for a decent wood Sunfish project. Disclainer: I do not have a dog in this fight - I am just passing the ad along.

Somebody on E-bay (search words: "Sunfish Sailboats") sells Sunfish sail logos and other stuff as well. I have never seen this stuff first hand but it looks good and the prices are decent: Fits Sunfish "Fish" Sail Boat Sail Logo Decal - Any Color! 5" Long | eBay

Try Signal Charlie and/or Truman Walker here on the Sunfish Forum. One or both might have what you are looking for or know a source.
