[quote=MN3][quote]Is there a reason to get a Hobie 16 rather than a Prindle 16? [/quote]
EVERY boat has pro's and cons (i.e. used hobie parts are more avail than prindl... that being said.. there are lots of prindle parts too)
and every boat is a trade off (i.e. my current boat has more storage, deck room, and horsepower than my previous two.. the trade off is it is over 550lbs loaded, and sometimes i can't solo right it even with a big righting bag, not to mention the 30' mast feels like it's filled with anti-matter)
I started on an h16, knowing what i know now, and for where i sail (often in the gulf, waves become a factor at times), i would probably prefer a p16 .. but these boats are very similar
one thing about the h16 i don't care for is the elevated tramp. The attachment points (pylon unit) seem to get loose often and be a problem.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Nov 01, 2012 - 09:59 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
