The 1996 Sunfish I have which is a Peterson built hull.
I noticed today a small gel coat fill that had an edge to it. So with my knife I flick it away. Much to my surprise there seems to be a void in the area. That is the larger spot. One the same side I found 4 more cracks in what is the original gel coat with voids behind them.
I am just looking at all the issues with this hull while playing ball with the dog.
I looked closer at 2 'cracks' of some sort on the keel. they do not go through but affect the first layer or two of glass. One area of cracks on the chine where it must have got hit hard. A pinky sized hole in the bow point.
Just have to wait till there is warm enough weather. Going to be a long winter knowing I wont be able to fix them till spring.
