[quote=toddelozory]H - Both boats are fun. My first Hobie was a Hobie 16. The next 4 were also Hobie 16's. Then I moved to the Hobie 18. The next 3 were also Hobie 18's. Then to the Hobie 21SE. The type of sailing, experience, weight/size, are all factors to consider. The 16's are fun, I think easier to pitchpole, but that could go back to the weight factor. As I grew, I needed the additional weight capacity, and buoyancy, so I moved to the H18. Sailing is more fun with more crew. As our family grew, I needed more capacity, I moved to the Hobie 21 SE. The set-up time can also be a factor. I can solo-step the mast for the H16 and H18, but the H21SE takes 4 to step. You don't have stay with one or the other. Find someone to sail with on each, trying them out before you commit. It is not a lifetime commitment. Buy it, try it, sell it?[/quote]
