I know the 5.2 isn't the newest boat out there and isn't the fastest but it is alot of fun and a few add on's will make it a killer.

I really don't race much, except for a group of about 6 of us that go out and do 5 or 6 mile races around the lake just for fun. I have finally learned the boat well enough that I can out run most of the other guys who are almost all on 16's. They keep up fine on the reachs and downwind legs but anything upwind I can smoke'em.

Funny that you are fixing up a sunfish, I just got a Laser that was sitting in a yard. It appears that everything is there, and the boat is solid. I haven't even put it together yet but it was free so....I had to take it. The guy was actually about to burn it wil a pile of junk because he was tired of it taking up space.
