[quote=fxloop]A storm came through the mid south flipping my $1000 Hobie Cat on its side and onto the trailer hitch of another H16 parked nearby and punched a nasty hole straight through the deck of my port hull, right between the pylons. No other damage at all.... I'm VERY bummed to say the least... just put on a $350 tramp, bought $300 EPO rudder setup, All new mast cleats ect ect ect and have a brand new Hobie 16 sailor showing up In the morning to see how rigging, sailing and launching a catamaran can be a fun, easy event.... :roll:
I've obviously got 2X the cash invested in the boat than its worth but the hulls are rock solid other than new damage. Do i save the sails and additions and push the entire boat into a dump site ASAP or spend another crap load of time/epoxy/fiberglass/PITA to try and fix an already 35yo boat..... or sell all the good parts and buy a H18SX with wings?!
I'm not looking forward to the news in either direction i'm afraid :-(
