I have just bought an older Sunfish serial# 010013. I have pressure tested the hull and it is fine but I really feel I should remove the aluminum rub rail and deck to allow a thorough go over inside the hull. So my questions are:
1. Is there any information/pictures available as to how they are put together and what the inside of the hull and underside of the deck look like?
2. Is it possible to find new rub rail or is there an alternate that anyone has used?
3. I have read several threads about refinishing and seen reference to Marine Tex and re-gel coating, what about Awlgrip?
4. Are the decorative lines on the bow and stern painted or adhesive stickers. I haven't attacked then with a scraper yet
I am sure I shall be a regular visitor with questions so thanks in advance for your help/advice/opinions.
