Nice!!!
I'm on a specfic guitar brand forum and there are a number of informal meet ups and there were factory tours a few years back as well prior to their move to the west coast. Rare to find this kind of camraderie.
I may have to pester a certain someone in my area when I'm ready for the...
Envious. I was in the ADK'S last weekend on a 3 day paddle...water's a bit too chilly for me to launch the. Sunfish yet in CNY.....Especially as it is my first time on one.
I go through them several times a year....bring gloves. If there are no kind boaters in the lock with you willing to let you "raft" with them the ladder you will be forced to hold on to may be slimey. Doubt you'll have a pole. The water boils a bit as it rises but your heading east through...
It wasn't just stains, the entire bottom had a tea stain to it. Several of the smaller lakes in our area, including were this boat resided prior, have a brown tint.
I've used them for other applications...they're great!
I have my Sunfish propped upon sawhorses down at a shop I share with my brother. He restores furniture. The bottom has that tannic tea stained appearance with some remnants of leaf "veins" plastered here and there. I was going to head down to do the Alan Glos wash/bleach/polish routine back...
Ha!
That was probably written when station wagon behemoths like the Ford Country Squire had their own zip code.
Of course the station wagon in todays guise is the SUV. I've carried my Hornbeck inside my old 99 Expedition...with the hatch closed.
To the OP, just go to the Thule or Yakima...
Not Sunfish related...and it is actually a catagory...but I still chuckle at times when viewing ads on CL for canoes or kayaks and under propulsion it says HUMAN
I was at Gimmee Coffee yesterday as well as the Ithaca Bakery.
I'd love to see that kayak....but there are 2" of snow on my lawn here on Onondaga Hill. Season is officially over...but I did get my Hornbeck in Caz Lake Sunday for a paddle.
I just purchased an old Grumman w.complete sailing rig...
I noticed the pre cancerous second degree sunburn on the back of the skipper of the light blue sunfish.
Probably drove that Ford Country Squire with no seat belt smoking half a pack of Chesterfields on the way home....upon arriving enjoying 3 manhattans and demolishing a 28 oz rare delmonico...
From 20 feet it looks like they did a decent job filling in the center board slot.
One good morning of heavy rain while hunting will swamp her...it... though.
Did the oxy clean scrub a dub on top followed by el-cheapo bleach, in sun, as recommended by Alan.
Now to the bottom.
Assume I'll use a bit of elbow grease to get crud off bow and then repeat what I did on top??
Does this bailer look ok? Seller had boat in water when I looked at it so assume...
We did move the boat and I did not hear any loose items rolling around.
On old larger boats (with cabins), there will be delamination on decks but I'm not familiar with the construction of a Sunfish. And the soft spot here is on the hull, not top.Are they solid glass?
Well actually another Sunfish I've looked at does.
Been stored outside under a tree for years, bow handle is ripped out of boat, bailer ball is shriveled to the size of a pea and underside has some spots that are very soft and oil can with very little pressure. Rudder fitting on stern is bent...
Rustoleum Topsides is commonly used on canoes and sea kayaks. I've done 3. While a canoe isn't as fast as a Sunfish you probably don't take a Sunfish through rocky Class III rapids. It holds up well above and below waterline. My canoes have spent up to a week in the water on extended trips...
