No excuses, this boat is close to you.
Seriously, this is what I've got and I've sailed anywhere from solo at 230-300 and with crew 500+ lbs., I've taken my 70+ year old parents out through the surf and sailed in all type conditions and waters since 1992 on the Hobie 18 with wings.
Then there is this...
"Chicks dig the wings"
With Hobie 18's (and most boats) the year of manufacture is important.
1978-1983 heavy but bullet proof
1984-1986 light but failure prone
1987-1988 has the upgraded rudder system (plastic cams)
1989+ best Hobie 18's available
Unfortunately after 1990 there were not very many 18's sold, so availability isn't good.[/quote]
