Hey Man I may be stating the obvious, however I just recently discovered www.craigslist.org If you've never been there it is a great sight. You can shop by various cities or regions within a state. Often times you can get the seller to meet you half way (of your drive) . I recently bought a '83 Laser for $800 in NJ. Check the site often as it is updated daily, I would imagine especially right around or shortly after Labor Day they'll be an influx of boats posted. Good luck!
I'm selling a 1980's Laser. It comes with three sails (including radial and full rigs). It comes with a dolly/trailer, which holds the upper mast, lower mast, and boom. It's been upgraded to be handled in heavy wind. If you would like to hear more. Please email me at amlott@yahoo.com.
