Here is another that I believe is a 5.0 and has the jib, a few less dollars and I think it says it has beach wheels which is huge br /> I own a 5.7 a...

I agree with the Gcat assessment. I'm surprised the owner doesn't know more about it considering he says he replaced the tramps. Seems like you'd need...

My Gcat 5.7 is fast enough to be exciting but not too much to be handled by 310lbs. I consider it pretty easy to keep tame in most conditions. Maybe...

Totally normal landing for a 16 where I'm from. Other than depowering a little, what could be done different?

Well now you have me off topic, my apologies I have a motor mount on my Gcat 5.7 which I have never used. The 5.7 and the Getaway weigh about the sam...

Had a nice trip last year leaving from the Sanibel causeway. If we choose to incorporate Useppa I may just leave from Pineland. Not as much sailing bu...

Never thought a dock was a very good choice for a beach cat. I guess some disagree

I love when someone is selling a used 16 and they mention in the ad that they installed bow ports for more storage and inspection like its some kind o...

Thanks guys, hoping to take a look before the holidays. If I get it just have to decide which boat to get rid of, 3 is a crowd

Gcat 5.7 owner here, I'll help the best I can. You can add a 10 hole chain plate like the Hobie 16 to the brindles, but like dartman says, you will fi...

Thanks Damon, have stayed there a few times, only place Oceanside that would let me keep the Gcat with mast up. I live in Florida so it's not quite wo...

I thought about it, but 565 lbs is a hard sell

I am lucky enough to have access to a gulfront lot owned by someone who lives overseas and lets about 6 of us keep our cats there. The neighborhood is...

Salty Dog marine sells the wire halyards for both the main and the the jib. I doubt you could do it much cheaper than them. Plus, the lock stop for th...

I carry spare everything. Shackles, rudder pins, clevis pins. I have a spare shroud and forestay zip tied under my tramp. I carry gorrilla tape, quick...

There was a Columbia 29 in South Florida that had decks painted the same color. The owner swore it was the best color when getting beat on by the sun....

Salty dog marine has Gcat 5.7 sets. Heavier duty than original rigging and very reasonable.

I travel 30 miles, 30 minutes, to my spot. Boat is stored there, mast up, on the beach I do not spend the night, unless I sail out to an island and ...

Getaway and Hobie 18 are both a good bit heavier than what you are use to. If you are beach launching and retrieving you will notice. Also, with the ...

I am a Hobie 16\Gcat 5.7 owner. I believe the 5.0 and 5.7 are similar. Don't shy away from an 18 foot boat for trailer reasons. They are not more dif...

What exactly needs to be restitched? I have had places that do marine/auto upholstery patch me up to get an extra season out of it. If it's more of a ...

I talked to Hans and he may have a lead on one, should be careful what I wish for I guess. Apparently 8.5 foot beam was more common than the 11 foot b...

Collinress, do you have a tilt trailer or do you collapse it for trailering? If you collapse it how involved is the process?

Was the Gforce 21 an actual production boat? I was under the impression only a few were made. I have never found one for sale, I am a loyal Gcat owner...

Dart 18 is a sweet boat, there is one on my beach, I think you would enjoy it
