Joel, I recommend grinding and glassing the keel, too. Just applying thickened resin is unlikely to survive long. Here's a page I created when doing similar repairs on a friend's boat:

Joel, a lot of people wish it's as simple as just smoothing on some epoxy... and sometimes it can be. ?But the "better", more thorough and lasting repair takes a bit more work; it's my opinion you

?Your message has made me realize I made a leap in logic. When I pulled the swamped boat onto the sloped sand, water came out the traveler holes. But I didn’t see the source of the leak and

Are you sure those holes for the traveler go through the Interior hull? They shouldn’t. Can you send a picture of the damage? Where else is it leaking?

Nice pics of your MiniFish project. I especially appreciated the picture of the hull identification number. I have not been able to find a HIN on my hull. Before I complete the registration for it, I

Worth repairing. We would inject thickened epoxy out of a caulk cartridge into a syringe, then use the syringe to slowly fill that hole. Thickened epoxy brands are either TotalBoat THIXO or Pettit

My sunfish is wet on the inside and the foam blocks are loose in the rear, I cut an inspection port and used wooden sticks cut to exactly the right length to wedge the foam blocks back in position.

Yes you can work through a 6 inch port, the key is to do the work and then install the ring, more room to work through. The recommended adhesive is a 2 part marine grade flotation foam, it is a
