Hi Bob, I will venture a guess-timate of $100 to $200 to have a boat shop fix your hull. Boat repairs tend to be a bit labor intensive so the price gets up there quickly. If you are game to learn a

If the whole cockpit tub was full of water and froze, that might have done it. Sometimes kids jumping in it can do it. Sometimes it's damage from trailing. If the boats need to be stored outside,

Thanks for your input Gail & Wayne. Since I have no experience in fiberglass repair, I'll hold out for another chance. Is it anyone's guess as to what caused the crack? The owner seemed as surprised

Hi John, I bought one of those boats. Literally took four people to carry. Like Gail said they take patience to restore. If all else is in good shape the boat may be a worthy investment, but IMHO, not

As with all hulls, it's salvageable, but depends on your patience and ability to fiberglass. Drying it out will take at least the summer. See other postings to learn about how that works. Once you

I'm grateful that I stumbled upon this group. Your posting of what to look for when buying a used sunfish was very helpful when I checked one out that appeared in yesterday's paper ($500.00 w/

Thank you for the response, Wayne. I did weigh the boat last night. It weighs 149 lbs, so not too bad I think. Did I read somewhere that 138 lbs was the "factory" weight? In looking more closely at

Hi Bob, Eek! is right.... OK, now let's reverse that process and blow a little air into the hull. While doing this go around the boat with a spray bottle filled with soapy water and spray all the

Hi: for those looking for fish I sent this message out last year. The boat is still for sale I notice. The guy just put it out in his driveway. I don't know if the proce is the same: Hi: I'm in

Hmmmm..., I'm 6' 200+lb and I have fun with a Sunfish. It's a little cramped, but still lots of fun and about the easiest boat there is to set up. I believe more people learn on Sunfish and there are

I have sailed a minifish. It is a smaller version of a sunfish. Decent little boat. It may be a little tight for your 6'2 frame. The minifish is best for smaller sailors. They make an excellent boat

Well, forget my previous post requesting more info about the minifish. Tthe person selling it didn't know anything about it (incluuding the age.) He said that it belonged to his deceased uncle. I'm

There is an add in our paper for a 12' minifish, complete, excellent condition for $475 but no year mentioned. I've left a message for more info. Is this boat as good as a sunfish? Should I hold out

Hi Ken, Once you have experienced the phenomena you gain a lot of respect fast. We haven't had much of a Spring here in Colorado. It went from Snow and 30's to 80's in just one week. The quick warm-up
