Hi. I'm looking at a used sunfish and I have a few questions about it. Hopefully some of you could help me out! Its a 1975 AMF sunfish. The current owner was going to fix it up and got another project before finishing.
It seems to be missing the bailer and the stern plug. Also, the forward deck seems to flex a good bit, but I don't know if this is normal or not. How difficult is it to replace the bailer and stern plug? Is the flexing cause for concern? (it flexes up to almost half an inch in a few places)
Everything else seems to be in good shape. The rudder and centerboard have been completely refinished and restored. One of the sail booms have been repaired but seems to be pretty strong. I'll replace that sometime in the future so that's not a deal breaker.
