The holes drilled in the bottom of the cockpit do in fact just drain into the hull. My brother and I moved the boat off the trailer and angled it such that we could drain it and let's just say there was evidence of the 3" of rain we had over the last few days. I set the hull on it's side...

I did another search, apparently with the right words this time, and came up with fumed silica. It's probably not as white as the Marine Tex, but it was cheap. I guess we'll see.

Never mind!

I need to mix up some thickened epoxy and have a question - what do I mix with the epoxy that will result in a white(ish) color? I've made wooden boats and mixed sawdust for fillet material for stitch and glue, but what do I use to make it white? Also, I would prefer something commonly found due...

Another option, but honestly, I'm not sure what will work with this boat. If a bailer was a bailer then there would be no problem, but Sunfish even has two different ones (and it looks like the Phantom bailer is even different than those). I need to figure out which and how and if the Phantom...

Ok, so maybe I'll start with the inspection ports, patch the holes and just clean it up a bit. I probably should see if it actually floats before I spend any more money on it. I'm pretty sure it will be fine, but .... And heck, having a bail bucket for a time or two will takes me back to some...

Here's my plan - buy both types of Sunfish bailers and carefully pick which one to use. Crazy, or pretty much a good idea?

Here are some more; Sorry for posting so many pictures, but pictures can sometimes take the place of a thousand words. The 3rd and 4th picture here are of the holes. There is a third hole in the aft area of the cockpit just before it goes into the ?-storage-? area. Thanks for the help!

You asked for it - here's what I have to help answer your questions so far. I don't have a picture of the holes, but I'm pretty sure they weren't put there by the factory. The daggerboard is labeled Sunfish and the splashrail has Starfish and the name plate has Starfish's manufacturer. I paid...

Well, as the title says I need some help. Hopefully because it is not a Sunfish I won't get kicked out, but I would understand if I do. I just purchased a 1971 Starfish. The rudder, daggerboard and sail are all Sunfish, but the hull is marked Starfish. The boat seems (to me) to be in pretty good...
