    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.. icon_wink 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 !!!!

    presto99Is it just the white 18's that are failing? I have a yellow '86 and I dont want the front to fall off.

    Color shouldn't have anything to do with it. The color is just a tint added to the gelcoat, so has nothing to do with the strength of the build.

    all the pictures show white ones. icon_cool just having some fun.

    Oops, I guess the "beachcats of color" can fail too, just found this.

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