I would remove the old plug base and use those yak plugs you have in the package. Those are the same plugs I put on the trac 14. You might have to modify the screw holes a little for the new base but it will be worth the effort. You can find replacement plugs and should have an extra incase one...
Ok. FINE! SC has spoken and he is the sunfish master. If you open the bag just be real careful and cut just one seam open and save the bag. You can always put it back in the original bag for safe keeping.
Congrats, you and your son will have a great time with a sunfish. Get the sunfish owners guide that Signal Charlie wrote and read it cover to cover, it has a lot of great information.
I currently own a trac 14 and wondered how many more are out there. Any tips or advice on it? We have only had it in the water once this past summer but plan on many trips next summer. Looks to be a quality built boat and I like how it can be disassembled for storage.
Fibrworx in Hurst Texas might be able to help. They specialize in fiberglass boat repair and it's my cousins shop whom I would trust to do a great job.
I love the glitter/flake on the splash guard. I would guess someone repainted the guard and the one stripe with metal flake automotive paint then cleared the deck to seal everything. I actually though about adding some flake to my sunfish to give it that custom look. Not the whole thing just...
I feel your frustration too. I also sail in NE Texas and the wind has been low or nothing at all when I could actually make it to the lake. I can't remember how many days I think wow today would be a great day to sail only to be stuck at work.
I have a trac 14 catamaran that I carry with my sunfish. You might be able to set up something like that for kayaks on the side. The SF rests on pool noodles wrapped in carpet in the center and bunks on each side. The nose rests on the bow stop and the roller on the front only touches the hull...
The last time my boat was wet other than rain was Oct 2016. I work a lot and have kids in activites that keep me busy but realize that will not last forever and I will have time to spend sailing in the future. I tried 3 or 4 times this last year to go but something always happened. Got home...
I have a 1985 Zuma I just picked up and it seems to me the hull is really flexable compaired to my sunfish.
Just the weight of the empty boat on the trailer bunks makes a slight indentation in the hull.
Is this normal or has the hull gotten weak over time? I can't decide if I should cut...
