[quote=sailingaz]Thank you all for the help on this. I was out of town for a few days and wasn’t actively checking the forums, but I’m heading over to pick up the G-Cat today. For me, the difference in price was the deal breaker (G-Cat was 300 with a galvanized trailer, Prindle was almost 1000). The G-Cat is in OK shape and has all the equipment needed to sail, it just needs some work long term.
I decided that the spare parts issue is a problem, but I had a bit of an idea. Before I am able to break any major parts of the rudder system or anything else, I think I’m going to take detailed measurements and photos. I’m an engineering design student, and I have access to all the equipment I’d need to produce parts (CNC equipment, laser cutting, plasma cutting, welding, casting, the works. I can even take a 3 dimensional scan of smaller parts instead of trying to reproduce them myself in CAD. Anyways, I appreciate all the help on here, and I’ll update you with how it goes.[/quote]
