HI. New member and first post. I have read up on as many threads here as I can and have read advice on other websites re sunfish sailboats. I see two in my area i'd be interested in but would like to know your opinions. I would like a trailer. I'm not too too old just yet, but old enough that I don't want to hoisting a sunfish on my SUV roof. One shoulder surgery is enough! Can you give me opinions on these postings and what I should be asking? I'm guessing the last two look like they're being sold by the same person given the location and the garage looks the same.
I have an ericson 27 that has taught me a ton and I made a lot of mistakes on the front end as it was my first boat. Ended up being a project boat for the first few years. I could sail it from the start but spent a lot of time on the hard fixing things, changing out an inboard ($$$ painful). I know the sunfish is much simpler but if i learned anything it's to get opinions of those more knowledgeable before buying. Thank you. Jay
