Sunfish to Gunning Boat Conversion

JP

Excellent restoration. What a fine craft you've created. I'd be proud to have it in my fleet. Thanks for the photo documentation as I know it will inspire others.

Good morning, J. P. ~

Excellent result ! I look forward to your many adventures in her.

BTW: Did you add a skeg? If you plan to row her long distances, a skeg would help her track. (On the other hand - a skeg would grab the bottom if you'll be working her in shoals, weeds or mud.)

All the best,

No skeg Steve, but I added a keelson down the centerline. I noticed on my last trip out that the back end seemed to wiggle a bit but I wasn't able to decide if it was the boat or me. It may be something for the future.
 
Looks like a fun project. I turned down free sunfish a few months back thinking I would never use it. I should see if it is still available.
