If that's the extent of the "damage", nothing really needs to be done. That's not an uncommon defect.
Otherwise, buy a $22 cartridge of thckened epoxy (THIXO, 6-10, Flexpoxy) mix it, spread the mix over the rough spots, cover and smooth the finish using a moderately heavy plastic film. (Epoxy won't stick to most plastics). The above cartridges have a long shelf-life. You can expect frequent use for subsequent repairs to Sunfish or home repairs.
Now that it had pontoons mounted on it it’ll be a lot harder to tip on it’s side and drain! Maybe it is time for bhm to install a port.Bhm how much does your minifish weigh? Have you opened the drain to see if you have water?
Actually, the Sailboats-to-go outriggers come right off: they slide into the crossbar and are held in place by spring buttons. So only the crossbar is bolted to the boat, so it's easy to turn on its side to dump out any water that might have gotten into the cockpit or mast step, before rolling the boat back to the car on the wheels that plug into the same crossbar.Now that it had pontoons mounted on it it’ll be a lot harder to tip on it’s side and drain!

I haven't tried to weigh it, and I'm not sure how I would do that. It feels like exactly its nominal listed weight of 75 pounds when I load it into my car, same as my fiberglass 8-foot Nelson dinghy. If it was much more than that, I'm sure I would have noticed.Bhm how much does your minifish weigh? Have you opened the drain to see if you have water?
People typically do it to verify they don't have a problem. Hopefully opening it is not hard, altho on older boats like that they sometimes become frozen and it's a bigger project than the usual unscrew-it-with-a-screwdriver method.I can get to it to open it if need be, but is there any need for that if the boat feels light and I don't currently hear water inside it?
