[quote=hobiemark]The hobie 18 is a great boat and will take 3 adults no problem, most of what's been said here is right.
watch for soft spots, they are a pain to repair, Not sure where you are in cal, but there are lots of hobie fleets out there, do some research, reach out to the fleets, someone might be sitting on a boat that they are thinking of selling and will work with you, or they know someone etc, etc, also if they are a active fleet person, they will be there to help.
Deals are there to be found. we had one of our junior sailors score a 88 hobie 16 that had been garaged for $850 boat only needs new sails to be competitive. So be patient, ask around, all the cat sailors I have ever met are very helpful and I have been sailing cats since 1975.[/quote]
