[quote=scgoobertn]History: I used to have a semi clapped out h18 magnum. Honestly loved it but at the time I didn't have anyone to consistently go with and I was afraid it was going to require more money than I had available at the time. So I sold it. Had it for maybe 2 years. Used it on our lake a few dozen times.

Fast forward now. I have an amazing partner. We plan on buying a cruising cat or tri in 10-15 years. She wants to learn to sail now, This is amazing to me, and it has rekindled a flame in me. I still have a ton to learn myself but this is exciting.

I know my partner and she is going to get addicted to it. We do have 2 little ones who are with us half the time.

Our budget is going to be around 6k. I think my biggest question is, what is too much boat for a beginner. I loved my hobie 18. But I feel like I need to open up to other possibilities due to wanting to find as good condition as I can.

Almost forgot we plan on mainly sailing on lake, but trailering to the ocean when we have long weekends.

Hope I didn't leave anything out, doing this on phone and in a rush on break.

Long story short I think I just need to be told directly if a tiger or xxxxx is too much for us even if its in amazing condition. Lol<em>Edited by scgoobertn on Aug 18, 2021 - 06:30 PM.</em> [/quote]
