Reply to: Newbie wants a set of 1980 HOBIE 18 WINGS

[quote=carolinacatamarans][quote=retropharoah]I hate to say it but if you buy the wings you are going to spend more on them than you have on your entire boat. The trampolines for the wings are very expensive, if you are willing to drop a lot of cash you can order them online. I personally would build the wings out of similar materials. I built the wings for my Hobie 17 and they work great, didn't cost me much at all. Just take your time to try and duplicate the original design. It is not much more than some aluminum tubing with trampaterial on it, but way over priced.[/quote] The Magnums seem to sell for between $600-800. Double it for the SX. Ive seen a couple pairs of magnums go for $650 in my area with good tramps. How much did your wings cost you, and how much time did you have in them? I've ran the numbers several times, and I have the appropriate skills, welders and benders to make them. Considering my labor I couldn't touch the price of the used mag wings, even considering my tooling is free.[/quote]
