[quote=Indyxc]Hey guys, my name is Peter. Thanks for the info.
I'm about 180 lbs, 5'11". I'll probably be sailing 2 up with the gf, who is about 120 lbs, or someone heavier.
I'm suprised to hear the 5.0 is slower than the H18. The h 18 we had was fast, but would not fly a hull. Even with two people (320 lbs or so), it would lift one hull and then bury the other, and then slow down due to the drag, and then drop back into the water.
On a windy day on lake michigan it was plain nasty to right even with 2 people. The mast would have a tendancy to point downwind making the trap act like a sail into the wind! Was certainly a pain.
I'll be sailing this thing on a small lake, so that shouldn't be much of an issue.
As far as the year, I'm not 100% sure yet. I knew where the owner kept it and went to look at it. He said it was circa 2000 so could be older. Either way, for the price, i'm taking it. :)
For working on the hulls. I actually already have the West Systems Expoxy and the fast hardner. Can I patch it up with that, sand it, then take it a paint shop to respray/ gel coat the hulls? Are these gel coats hulls or just paint?
Thanks for the input ![/quote]
