    Coaming question--gap between coaming and hull

    Should I buy it?

    Can you guys help out a total newbie? I'm considering buying a used Sunfish. I'm pretty sure it's a 1971 based on pictures (green with no stripe) I've seen on the internet. It's got the new style rudder but I can see where the old style was removed on the top of the stern. There's also a...
