Hey all! I am new to the forum. I have had my eye on a minifish on Craigslist which I finally purchased yesterday. I have no idea what year it is because I can’t find any type of identifying numbers on it, but the hull is yellow (not sure if it’s the original color or has been restored). Everything is in great shape on it, no cracking in the gel coat and everything is solid. Only thing wrong is it was missing the cleat next to the mast which I picked up at west marine for $2. It has had a pulley and cam cleat put it to replace the little eye hook of the original minifish. I picked it up for $300. It was very dirty. Did I get a good deal? (Added some before and after cleaning pics, haven’t flipped it over yet to take pics but will add some when I do).
My main question is that I want to change the design of the hiking strap. I am traditionally a laser sailor but this boat seemed too perfect to turn down. However the hiking strap is placed the opposite way as in a laser, which confuses me a lot, and I would like to turn it lengthwise. Has anyone done this? What worked for you?
