Kent Blair restores a 1980 AMF Sunfish Viper by removing poorly executed, surface-level fiberglass patches and repairing the hull from the inside.0:45 The process involves clearing excess factory-installed expanding foam to access the interior, installing new wooden backer blocks for deck eyes, and reinforcing structural seams with thickened epoxy.1:49 To address hull damage, he inserts backer patches, secures them with clamps, and applies Total Boat fairing compound to achieve a smooth finish before priming and painting with Total Boat Wet Edge paint.2:47 He specifically targets common leak points, including the cockpit-to-hull seam and the daggerboard trunk, using Marine Tex epoxy putty to seal voids.3:35 The restoration includes replacing the bow block backer and preparing the hull for a custom light gray paint scheme with VF-84 Jolly Rogers squadron markings.4:38 Proper structural integrity relies on accessing the interior to create a flush, reinforced repair rather than applying exterior patches over existing damage.1:35
