Is a new sunfish better?

[Bman]

I have an older '60's sunfish. The rudder pops out frequently so I cant really lean over the side too much and trust it. Sail is worn, mast has a small corrosion hole in it, etc. I saw a really shiny nice 2 year old fish for sale for $2,000 that comes with a Seitech dolly. Assuming I've got the bucks, would this almost new fish be that more enjoyable than my old fish? I sail on a small lake in the summer.

I would say yes myself. If you replaced all of the worn items on your old sunfish would it cost as much or more as this other one? If so I would just buy the newer sunfish.

That is an amazing deal. If it's in good shape it is under price by $1500 or so. Buy it!

Agreed.
$2000 is a good deal, but make sure the boat doesn't have serious problems. If it's OK, you will enjoy it (and you can try to sell your old fish).

I'd jump on that! $2K is a deal.

I just paid around $4,500 for a brand new 2015 and a dolly. So $2,000 for a two year old boat is a steal!
