[quote=coastrat]1500$ should get you a first class p16....great hulls, extra sails, beach wheels, good trailer...otherwise, you can get a fixer-upper for way less if you are not scared of a little glass work. I love mine, tuff, simple, carries weight good, cheap available parts...but don't be surprised if you end up with some other boat altogether because it's the best boat available. I was trying to resurrect my hobie 16 when I bought my p16 for 500$...5 years later and nearly 90 trips, I invested in new sails/tramp last summer and it's a completely different boat(as duly said "I put a 400 in the vega")...[/quote]
