looks like it might be an sx.

With all of the work and parts it needs, it does not really strike me as a great deal.

I think your right, but thought I would post anyway because some guys want those sx wings.

Hulls look nice and that is probably an SX rig based on the sail picture, but the hulls look older based on the faded beams and the pop-off deck ports. Not sure when they switched to screw-in ports.

Price doesn't look too far off to me, but the missing parts are definite negotiating points. 😉

for $3K the boat's not even ready to sail!

But great point... Wings are in demand... lots of folks looking, or will soon be... for replacement hulls...

probably depends on condition of the sails... if great, would justify the $$ to add jib blocks, etc, etc, that the boat looks to need.

I'm curious about the Hobie 14 in the yard too... and thankful we don't have SNOW on the ground!
