Supercat 20 hulls are not foam cored.

Supercat for sure. The 20 is beast with a 12 foot beam, the 19 is a little more practical at a road legal width. Great boats, the 17 is my favorite

I have wrapped a line around my front crossbeam and then cleated it off on the halyard and down haul cleats at the base of the mast. Takes a little tr...

Unless you are a die hard solcat loyalist, you may want to see what you can get for it and go after another more common 18 footer with better parts av...

I can’t comment on your specific issue as I’m unfamiliar with the 21. I epoxied the crossbars on my 16 because I had some excessive play between bars...

What are parts prices like on the SC15 and 17. I’m sure used parts are scare and I know Aquarius offers support but parts for the SC20 I sail on have ...

I loathe the Prindle rudder system. Too many parts. More parts, more things to break. Love Prindle's Though. The P18 is awesome, I just can't justify ...

Just curious, what exactly are you planning to do with this boat that it needs to be the ‘most durable’ All these boats mentioned are capable of some...

Both the Hobie 16 and Prindle 16 had some years where they were using the same foam that seemed to be more prone to delamination. I’m not sure the exa...

The Facebook page is interesting, the cabin space inside the hulls looks very useable and practical and not too Closter phobic. Also a little video of...

Not excusing Murray’s non response, but they have always been responsive to me. Tom has helped me out a few times on some time sensitive items that re...

There is a park with a launch that is the first thing you get to on 98 when headed into Fort Walton from Destin. It’s easy to find. I assume it’s the ...

I’d say that’s dryEdited by jalex on Jun 20, 2019 - 09:21 PM.

Mad respect for you guys that launch and retrieve from concrete ramps. Only did it a few times when I was in the Keys and if it was my normal routine ...

Does the red let you unscrew with pliers? I’ve always heard red holds to well and blue not well enough

Are you buying new hulls? If not maybe you can find a set of good used hulls that already have a good frame. I am sure you have thought of this.

I towed a Hobie 16 stacked on top of a Gcat 5.7 with a stack of spare parts and camping gear 1500 miles round trip with a 4cylinder CRV. Gas mileage ...

I can't imagine not having an a decent anchor. Its awesome to take a break lying bows to the wind in the lee of an island to take a break when I don't...

I used a mallet that had pellets in it, myself and a friend each took a side and hit up in unison. It took a while but started moving. When I did it b...

The Prindle 18 is a popular enough boat you should be able to find an P18 replacement without having to get a mismatch from another cat. Buy the one t...

I know many of us are on the water multiple times a week, for multiple hours at a time so probably more exposed than most, but not all. Summer is actu...

I guess your right, just replace the tube as the previous casting worked fine. Was trying to do as easy swap as possible but looks like I’m just makin...

Both the one I took off and put on are no adjustable. I’m thinking I’ll either unbolt the upper casting, force it under the cam and then redrill a new...

I have a battenless jib designed for roller furling on my 16, even though I do not have a roller furler. I love it. Not worth spending the money right...
