A Hobie 16 is a proven design, is easy to rig, and can be cruised around as well as haul butt. I have had lots of weight on mine as far as people go, ...

Sol Cats look so cool. Better watch out for the hidden fees when it comes to charity auctions. Cool boat though, love that Orange!!!Edited by martyr o...

I wouldn't go cutting holes into Hobie 16 hulls, unless you absolutely had to, such as for access to the insides for repairs, but that's just me.

Haha, the pizza flavored booms are my favorite!!!!

Well, it sure is colorful.

Thanks for posting the link, looks like the butt buckets I currently have. But thank you.

I searched all over the Hartford Cl site and cannot find your ad, I may be interested if the harnesses are more up to date than what I have but, can't...

I've never seen a Nacra in person, are they not made of fiberglass?

No picture posted.

So, not wanting to hijack here, but just thought I'd ask because I've never thought about this before, but what can I do to keep the clear window in m...

I apply one good coat by hand, remove by hand, then use a buffer, once a year so far.

When addressing an issue of any kind, the key is to seek out the root cause. In this case, the root cause is the rodent problem. Eliminate the rodent...

Rat poison and glue traps would be my method of attack when it comes to protecting your sails in this situation.

That's great, you will definitely enjoy using those beach wheels, thankfully my boat came with a brand new set just like those and they make loading a...

The only thing I have used on my boat is Starbrite Marine Polish, keeps the gelcoat super slick and shiny, I haven't waxed it at all.

There is a set of cat trax listed in the "Good Deals" section and they are 200 bucks, but they are in Texas.Edited by martyr on Aug 09, 2018 - 07:02 P...

The wheels look a little narrow but they may be good for rolling over harder surfaces like grass or gravel/rocks.

Wow, I've worked in the injection mold field before making parts that had to be free of any defects such as nicks or scratches and those end caps look...

They are probably, more than likely, quite possibly, made of dacron. You may be able to have them dyed a color. I would contact a sail maker and go f...

Canvas sails? How old is your boat? 😀

Great video MN3, buy American!!! I shudder to think of an equipment failure while underway out on the open water due to a small crappy made part.

That's cool. You should put those pics in the "Beachcats Technical" photo album section.

Maybe I am just old school but, I wouldn't negotiate the price through text messaging. Sometimes the seller and the actual boat can actually be in di...

I have never seen one of those, didnt know Alcort made such a vessel but it sure looks fun!!! The Sunfish was a fun little boat, the Hi-Lu looks like ...

500 bucks for a Hobie 18 and trailer, no brainer, go for it. Seriously though, it looks good in pictures but you need to see it in person of course in...

Correct Dogboy. The boat in the ad looks like a "Malibu Outrigger", definitely not a Hobie 16 prototype for sure, but I would bet it would be fun to...

Hmmm, Hobie 16 prototype? Yeeeeaaahh, that looks like an outrigger boat to me so, I would be suspicious of that one.

Bill that sounds like a really nice box. I wonder if the "Toy Box", or "Boombox" boxes are still available somewhere. My trailer has a 10" PVC tube ...

Hello, you should check out Matt Miller's instructional video for setting up the Hobie 16. It can be found on You Tube. It's an older video but has a ...

We old guys have to be careful about twisting and pulling, I hope that you feel better soon. Biofreeze is great for pain by the way, I know, I use it ...
