Looks to be in pretty rough shape. FWIW, that platform is no longer competitive in the F18 class.

I had one, and it was a pitchpole machine. Not near enough buoyancy in the bows.

A bit rough but not that bad, for $500 extra and some TLC you have yourself a pretty fast ride!

Wasn't the biggest issue the rig? I get how it isn't competitive with an Infusion but perhaps on par with a Hobie Tiger??

It look pretty much like an Inter 18. What are the differences?

It's similar to the inter. Different boards and different hull shaping. Less bow volume.

The feedback I have heard from previous owners has been universally negative.

Not a bad price at a glance, but could need some real money thrown at it if maintenance has been deferred as much as the photos suggest. Add in the cost of a trailer, box, trax and I think you could find better deals in the classifieds here.

buy it,
sail it till it explodes!

I was asking because I had 2 inter 18. One I sold in july and I still have one. I'm looking for something smaller since I'm most of the time solo.

One of my boats had hulls that were pretty worn out like that and a little wet sanding and machine polishing brought them back pretty well. I think that boat still has a bright future if someone wants to put in a little elbow grease.

it's more than "a little"

sandpaper, dust and glass (breathing) filters, gelcoat, gloves, time, enrgy, time and time... some skills and experience are bonus

It was an OK boat... but where we sail, it is windy and choppy... the Tiger did a better job in these conditions.
