I am new to this forum and am quite excited to have come across this site.
After years of renting or taking out house Hobie's, mostly in the Caribbean, my wife and I decided to get our own.
I would classify myself an advanced beginner, having come to Hobie's from windsurfing, but am finding sailing the Hobie 16 pure bliss, within my clear limitations...
I had just posted a Wanted ad in the Classifieds on this site, and @DamonLinkous has encouraged me to mention my search in this forum as well. I will try to attach a link below...
Basically we are looking for a clean Hobie 16, no more than 10 years old or so, in complete and good condition, with a good trailer. We are prepared to tow it home within a 500 mile radius from Greenville SC, or 250 mile radius from Grand Rapids MI (our other place). Time is short and we want to sail, not tinker...

I am looking forward to learning from all of you as we embark on this new adventure...
Thanks and cheers!
