I am looking for the hook for the head of a Tiger main. If anyone has a Tiger main they have gotten all the use out of I would love to buy the head and attaching hardware from it. Please post here or call 713 449 8667.

Thanks

Collin are you ditching the comptip? If so, that will be the best mod you make on that boat...not to mention the sails on it.

Since we are talking about F18's how tall is the mast on them?

The comptip is going bye bye. With the large square top and the chute I was getting more and more nervous about the integrity of the tip. In twenty plus like at Red Fish Reach the comptip would be flexed so much that I figured it was a matter of time. Chris Green fixed me up with his old Tiger mast that has a slight bend in it between the diamonds so I should be able to adjust the bend out with the diamonds. I found out last night the head plate on the Tiger is bolted on so I can do that mod myself. I am hoping to get my hands on a used one.

A used one? I think a new one is about $40. I bought one last year and think I remember that price. What would a used one run $20? Not a cheap sport I know, but a $20 savings?

I ordered a new one a few days after posting. They are only 35.00 and Hobie USA stocks them. This project should be wrapped up in a few weeks.
