New poster. 15 years after earning the sailing merit badge on a sunfish, I finally decided to buy one on a bit of a whim. I knew it had a hole in the hull, but didn’t realize the cockpit was also cracked. The boat also weighs 190 lbs, but I knew it was heavy when I bought it, and I didn’t pay much.
The thing I’m concerned about, is I don’t know the model year (no serial number), and I want to make sure I didn’t accidentally stumble on a Pearson or something not worth fixing.
I read somewhere on here that the Pearson cockpit was not flanged, and met the top price in a rough joint, is this what I have?
Also, is this how the mast step and dagger slot are supposed to look, or have they been repaired?
thanks, Ken
