[quote=skydog]Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker looking to get into this fabulous sport. I have very little experience at sailing period but have a good support group to lean on.
I've been looking for a boat that my wife and I can enjoy. Here are the stasts, my weight 180, hers 120. I would solo 50% of the time, large lake with a good fetch 99% of the time.
I have settled on an H16-17 or a similar Prindle as my first cat. I feel I'm pretty good at inspecting a Hobie, soft spots etc but I really know nothing about a Prindle other than it will most likely meet my needs quite well.
Hence my post. What should I look for in a decent mid '80's Prindle? When should I walk away?
There is a boat I would like to look at tonight. 3 hrs away so I'd like to make sure about her. It's with an older trailer at $2,500 and that sounds about 5-6 hundred too much.
Appreciate any comment/guidance.
Cheers,[/quote]
