Just an update for those interested. I took my Hobie 16 to an autobody shop on Saturday and picked it up today. I am quite pleased. Looks fantastic a...

I appreciate all the detailed responses. I actually got a good quote from an auto body shop and am going to move that direction. One of the main reaso...

Yes I realize I already screwed up doing some sanding before I dewaxed.

but you also need to let it sit for 30 minutes to start reacting before you put in the gun. I am just going to roll and tip, I do have a compressor b...

Check to see if you have a MRF(Murf), Mixed Material Recycling Facilty. There may be a cost associated but it’s the right thing to do. I have heard Ca...

How much thought are new builders putting into recyclability? There are so many no value cats(actually boats in general) lying around. I always recycl...

Just got word from Saltydog that they are back up and running. Some sort of computer hack. Still find it odd they were not able to let us know through...

Glad to hear of the welcoming locals. I didn't really have such luck in the Keys. Maybe I'll trailer up to the Great Lakes next time

I may be picking it up for the rudder system. If anyone has any interest in the hulls and cross beams let me know.Edited by jalex on Aug 26, 2019 - 08...

An unrelated and unsolicited opinion, Hobie Factory tramps are pretty pricey, may want to look at some alternatives, may need to save some money for...

It’s in my stopping grounds if someone wants me to check it out.

I’d stay away from soft hulls, those have to repaired as well. May as we’ll repair what you have. I would repair it well before I sailed it,

What a weird repair attempt. There is no saturation where the actual crack is. Very strange. Once you get the old repair off you should have good resu...

The ol 'Free Trailer' selling point.

Put the old on top of the new, had a friend hold them and drilled. Not a drill press. Sure looked like an exact match

Also, Would getting adjustable uppers help?

Thanks for the help, finally sprung for something new and it’s what causes problems.

where are you sailing? He is in my neck of the woods, Florida Big Bend. I guess we are going to get together and see what damage we can do

Using old style, will consider upgrading to new style if I thought it would help my problem but have several sets of old style so I would like to use ...

I guess new cams, plungers and derlin screws and then see if I am still having problems. I figured with all these extra parts something would work but...

Must haves are easy for one person to trailer (I have a Sprinter van to tow with a max of 8,000 pounds), get on and off the trailer, take apart and pu...

This guy has some videos of him camp cruising his Getaway. I wouldn't talk you out of it, my only concern is with your background you may not think it...

304 instead of 18-8 stainless so less apt to rust. Isn’t 304 and 18-8 basically 2 names for the same thing?

You had me on board till you said ‘On a budget’ Epoxy, spare parts, multiple trips here and there and online ordering from multiple vendors, it sucks...

Yeah, I’m a long time customer as well. He has helped keep my frankenboat Gcat 5.7 on the water for years.

I guess Saltydog is done. 2 weeks of calls and emails and nothing. The order I placed doesn’t show up in my customer portal. They didn’t charge my car...
