Hi Phil,
The sunfish looks great. What did you end up using to paint it? I've got a '75 sunfish that I need to finish patching and then paint. Did you have any trouble taking off and then installing the aluminum edging?
Thanks,
Dan
Did you consider sanding the deck before painting it? An easy to sand filler, and more prep would have yielded a nice finish. Now you have a boat that is poorly painted, reveals every defect, and has diminished the value of the boat.
Hey, Welcome back to Indiana! I am down in Bloomington. Where do you sail at up there? I have been going out on Lake Monroe down here, and we have a could of smaller lakes in the area I have been eyeing. Couple of weeks ago I took my fish down to Patoka Lake, lot of chop down there though from all the big power boats.
If you are ever in the Bloomington area let me know.
Cheers
Oh I forgot to mention, aside from your Blue Spash guard your boat looks very similar to mine. The previous owner painted it with a red deck and white hull as well.
I'm glad you enjoyed refurbishing your 'fish , and I'm sure you'll have fun sailing her.
That's what it's all about !
I noticed your bridle line on the aft deck. A better option would be a line, or better yet the stock wire traveler, without a loop in the middle. That little "loop" in the middle is by-gone era stuff. Your boat will perform better and be easier to handle in a blow. If you use line, watch for wear.
She's come a long way! Looking real good, congrats!
