I have recently acquired a miracle 20 which has been abandoned and stripped of sails, rudders, dagger boards, all the high dollar items. Need help in putting her back together. I know the model has been discontinued and I am really finding it hard to find parts that are used. I am in Fort Walton Beach FL., you would think I could find used parts here but not having any luck! Does anyone have any suggestions

It might take a little patience to find all those parts for a H20, but they are out there. The Hobie 20 didn't sell in near the quantity, or for as long, as the H14-16-18 but still a bunch were sold. Probably more Hobie 20's sold than (nearly) all other production catamaran models.
Since most of the catamaran manufacturing has been done by private vs public companies I don't think there is specific sales data available for most beachcats.
I would suggest placing a "parts wanted" ad in the classifieds with a list of your needs.
And keep us informed how your rebuild goes, always good to see a neglected cat come back to life!
