Last weekend i bought my second sunfish, the first one was a 69' in nice shape after last summer i wanted a second one so me and my brother/friends could race them (recreationally). I bought a 1984 AMF in rough shape and i'm going to fix it up and hopefully get it sailing by june. i origionally wanted to find a nicer boat but i got the boat rig a nice sail and the ruddr and dagger board for $100 so i couldent resist: I'm also a high school student without a lot of cash so cheaper is better. the boat weighs in at 190 lbs and has a crack in the cockpit roughly 2 inches long. im not sure yet if the crack is all the way through or if it leaks there. I also want to leak test it. it probally has some leaks to fix because i poured a couple of gallons of water out when i bought it. Heres my plan any comments or sugestions will be helpfull.
-first wash off the hull/clean all dirt off
-leak test and identify all problem areas
-install an inspection port behind splash rail to dry boat out
-sand/grind loose glass out of crack and fill with epoxey
-repair any leaks i find in the leak test
-wax and make it look nice
