I decided I want to get back in a Laser after selling mine 7 years ago and I just came across what looks like a reasonably sound boat that's just old. I can practically steal it but I'm wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to just spend more money on a newer/nicer boat and avoid any potential headaches. If I do buy this boat I'd replace most of the hardware, all the lines and probably upgrade to some performance accessories and probably end up refinishing the hull in navy. On the other hand I could spend 3-4k on a nice boat and call it a day. I dig projects like this as long as there aren't any huge surprises down the line so I suppose what I'd like to hear from you people is some insight on how well the older boats hold up structurally. It doesn't LOOK like there's any significant damage, but how well do these boats hide it? I'd appreciate you sharing anything you feel I might need to know.
