I've got a 1973 Hobie I'm cleaning up to sell and after I cleaned all the dirt and lichens off I found a strange worn section on the front deck. What could have caused this? The decks and hulls are solid, no delamination I can find.
The other deck has similar wear, just not as much.
Here's how dirty this boat was before the cleaning.
mayby a strap?
good call Mr. :clap:
That makes sense from the looks of it, but if that's it the boat must have been trailer way further back than it's sitting now, and for a long time. I'll see if it's even possible to put it that far back on the trailer.
don't know, but I'd encourage you to bring to OSYC for Slip 2 Ship... we're looking for a good, turnkey or nearly turnkey H14 for a fair price..... something for the kids to move up to after a Hobie Wave... We have a decent Hobie 16 and soon to piece together a Prindle 16.. cheers, Rob.
Looks like you scrubbed the gelcoat (or rattle can paint) right off of it! A little Krylon oughta do ya'!

Hopefully I'll be down for Slip to Ship but I'll be towing my H18. Anyway I need to sell this little 14 to get gas money!
However, I did spot a Hobie 14 in Foley Alabama that might work for you.

Possibly where the beach wheels sat across the hulls during travel? Is there a tried and true method for
hauling wheels on an H18? Just started looking at strapping mine across the hulls for a trip this weekend.
