I'm looking to buy a sunfish for my son for his birthday. I am new to the Sunfish and have do not have that much experience with boats. Not technical stuff anyways.
What should i be looking for when i am looking at a used sunfish? What kind of questions should i ask about the boat in terms of condition of/any existing damage to the boat? I have looked at one boat for sale but when i was there i was not quite sure what i should be looking for exactly. The boat seemed to be in good condition but i do not have the experience to truly tell.
There was a few hairline cracks on the top of the boat near the front The guy said "There are a couple of hairline cracks in the gel coat, but nothing that will cause any problem."
There was also some kind of epoxy repair right at the nose of the boat where everything thing comes together (the two sides and the top. Right at that front tip of the boat)
Here is the ad on craigslist for the boat:

He's asking "$600 OBO"
is that a good price. 1980something with everything ready to sail. New-ish sail in good condition. And trailer
i wanna offer him 400. 500 if necessary
