Forgot I was going to add to the thread collection of broken H18's with this one. Oh my gosh it's another white one, I think you may be on to something.

~~ I have a '87' 18 Mag. It won't break cause I painted it yellow..
I think my cat gained weight this year, I farted a few times gettin the BEAST on the rack...... We all know the older Hobies are built well & tuff. The Nacras and other cats like it are "lightweight" and faster (from what I've read)... I haven't seen any other cats in a long time.. (ya, I know I gotta get outta the house more)..... I was wondering how the newer Hobies::: FX-ONE, WILDCAT, TIGER, etc etc... compare to the Nacra's or the other lightweight cats ????? (speed, strength,durabilty).. ya know what I mean !!!!

Ouch! That one had the reinforcement plates as well. Perhaps no internal patching though. Do you happen to know the story on that one?
