When looking at used Sunfish, one thing to consider with the older boats is the weight. The Sunfish weighs 130# by design. Many of the older one over thier life have taken water into the hull, and absorbed the same in foam billets that are in the hull. This leaves many 200-300 lb hulls out there. If the boat weighs to much, it sails like a dog, and is not nearly as much fun. Pick it up and feel the weight if looking at used. To heavy, consider a pass. Keep looking. They are out there.
