Yes. However on older boats (especially 1984-1986) you want to make sure you have installed the upgraded front crossbar anchor plates on the hulls so the hulls are adequately reinforced.
Good luck on that one. Hobie stopped making wings for the 18 a long time ago. They can be very hard to find and you will pay a pretty penny for them as it is a seller's market. Keep an eye on the classifieds. Sometimes you will find someone selling a boat with wings that is willing to sell you the wings separately, but that's rare.

I am looking for a replacement starboard SX wing if anyone comes across one.
