That doesn't look like a big deal to me, but don't listen to me... I don't know anything,

Check your PM jdlg.

Are you picking up the one in Kemah? I contacted the guy, but he already had an offer. If that's the one, then congrats, that looks like an amazing b...

That's a nice find!

At this point my intentions are to use the boat as a family cruiser. I love the water and used to surf a lot. With kids now, I want something to do ...

Yeah, I think you are right, Isotope. That one on Ebay looks to be a pretty good shape too. I think the fenders flex helps cushion the ride for you...

Links still work for me. The CFI website is copy written as of 2013, so it isn't ancient.

Yes, that is the question. I'm also curious how he attached the Hobie mast section as a front cross beam.

And... gone

That's freaking awesome! I want that yesterday!

That is great advice, Damon. I'm sure that is exactly what will happen. I just wanted to start a conversation about it. I always learn something ne...

Yeah, I meant "as expected NO consensus". Wetness factor will probably be important to the wife and kids. I wish I knew someone nearby with a SuperCa...

Wow, great responses! As expected, consensus. There are a lot of pro-SuperCat opinions though. This weekend will be the first time I take just the wi...

I had heard the mast on SuperCats was very heavy, and for a family cruiser that may be a deal breaker right off, like Pete said. I don't see my wife ...

MN2, I had similar concerns with Pete's idea. John's idea using a barber hauler on the jib sheets would allow control of the slot, would it not?

Pete, how would you attach the bridle wires to the front? I understand you can drill a new hole in the rail and move the bolt and "pin" (whatever its...

Just to keep all my stories in one place. I just finished installing new leaf springs, hangers, hubs, fenders, and lights to my trailer. I noticed t...

Wow! If that had popped up 6 months ago, I would be headed to Florida now.

Thanks, John. That is exactly the kind of info I was looking for! The environmental aspect of the site could be an issue. The Corps of Engineers ha...

I'm in a similar situation. My plan, for now, is to eventually buy Hobie Getaway wings and modify them to fit my P18. That way there is plenty of ro...

Cool boat!

What is the difference in length between the crossbars of an 18 and 19? ie. If I made wings for the 18 would the fit the 19?

I don't have a good answer for you, but what kind of boat is that?
