[quote=samc99us]It really depends on your use case; for rec sailing I would probably go for the Hobie Tiger as generally those boats are pretty bullet proof. If you want to do any F18 class racing I would probably pass on both, with the most competitive boats being:
1) Scorpion F18
2) Goodall C2
3) Edge F18
4) Infusion Mk. 2
5) Infusion Mk. 1 w/ long boards.
For example, the painted Infusion Mk. 1 listed in the classifieds came in under class minimum weight by 2kg at the Worlds last week. You could probably get that boat for a reasonable sum and fit eXploder long boards, still be at weight and have a boat pretty competitive with the latest gear for under $10k.
Mike and Tripp took 2nd at the Worlds on a 2011 C2 so if you are sailing at minimum weight those are good choices.[/quote]
