Sometimes the State Wildlife resources folks have $$ grants for educational?programs that get people, especially students, outside fishing, hunting, boating, etc...There is a lot of tie in with STEM and Leadership development. And DEI initiatives come into play. Here in VIrginia we have such programs, monies used to purchase kayaks and canoes. If UNH is a State UNI then it might be even easier, as the boats become State Property.

Thanks Kent. Although I love the Dynamic Dollie’s they are too rich for my blood. I found a much cheaper one on Amazon and although not perfect and a bit heavier than the Dynamic it’s stellar.?
Unfortunately, there is no budget nor pool of money. I wrangle spare parts from any boat I can to cobble stuff together and throw in a few coins when I need to.?
I’ll keep the Dynamic suggestion in mind however. Thanks again.?
Oh I also fly spinnakers (my junior sailors that is) from the fish on occasion for fun.?

Diana, fantastic.
We've restored about 70 boats, with 1/3 of them being Fish. Folks like to donate to those doing good for the boats. We got our 1953 wooden Sunfish that way and just received a gift of an Abaco dinghy. As for women, I'd say just about every boat we sold had a woman as the driving force behind the purchase, or was the buyer. My favorite was when Grandma sent Grandpa over to look at a boat for the grandkid. He pulled out a wad of 100 dollar?bills and sheepishly offered $100 below the asking price. Audrey said "I'll take the other $100 in the other pocket too." We laughed and he drove off with the boat.
You have the group here for support. We also have a blog and youtube channel, where you can search for tips on tools, materials and tactics to get boat back to their natural habitat.
And on Amazon, The Sunfish Owners Manual, a-Z what folks need to find their boat and take care of it:
Of course all questions can be answered here.?
A few more things.
We can get Dynamic Dollies with free shipping to anyone?who wants one, it's a must for us to have one. For big programs wanting 10 or more dollies we can get deeper discounts.
And we have an Ambassador code with TotalBoat for their products, all of which we use, for 5% off. Anyone is welcome to use it:?
