I am thinking of selling my Hobie 14, and I would like feedback on what price I should ask: The boat is a 1983 with the 6 batten Carumba sail (no tears, no repairs, crisp with less than 50 days of use). It was originally a turbo, so it has the dolphin striker and 1 trapeze setup. The tramp is from the early 90’s and in good condition with the hiking straps still in place. I replaced all of the rigging with 1/8 stainless wire from saltydog 1 month ago. Overall, there is no work needed on the boat, and I just reglassed the bottoms of the hulls with West Marine epoxy this fall. The hulls have only light surface cracks, no repairs, and no soft spots. The boat comes with a 1983 galvanized trailer (new rims/tires, wiring, and bearings) and a pair of cat trax. What should I ask? Any advice as to how I should list the boat (ebay, hobie.com, thebeachcats.com)? I am located in located in Pittsburgh, but am willing to drive a few hours. I am only selling her, because I have acquired a Hobie 16.
Thanks for your help...

JAH, bought a very well taken care of 1983 H14 Turbo Carumba with a galvanized trailer, EPO's, Oxen's and extra parts, harnesses, etc.for my son last summer. Paid $1,600 for it.
