I'm looking at buying a used Laser (1989). This boat is obviously "used" but seems well outfitted, has been competitive in club racing, the hull side seems to be in good condition (not soft) and it seems to be dry. However, the deck especially where one sits seems very soft, and there is extensive cracking along the edge at the corner between the deck and the side of the cockpit. There are also miscellaneous cracks in the cockpit floor and around some fittings.
I'd buy it but am concerned about the cracking and soft deck. The seller says this is "normal" for a Laser. Except for the cracking it seems like a good buy. Any advice as to how big an issue this cracking along the edge is and can it be easily repaired?
