[quote=2out2sea]i just thought i'd update this thread with a caveat.  i was very interested in the dart 20 of steve's, but he was able to sell it before i had a chance to see it.  good for steve, bad for me.  so in my continued searching i stumbled upon a late 80's hobie 18 that is local.  i haven't seen the sails, but it has the magnum wings and is at a location where i can leave it rigged without having to hassle with trailering it back and forth.  from a quick look it appears to be in good condition albeit pretty dirty.  the gudgeons have no cracks, the daggerboard wells have no cracks, i didn't notice any soft spots on the deck, and the hulls appear sound with no signs of repairs.  it also has the epo rudders.  the tramps are faded, but undamaged.  it's on a trailer and seems that with a little elbow grease it would clean up nicely.  the guy is asking 2k for it.  is that a fair price?  where can i get a cover for it as it will be stored outside?  thanks again for everyone's help.  i'd love to have gotten the dart 20, but the 18 seems like an ok trade-off.  at least i get the wings on this set-up.
