Neighbor was throwing it out. I have both hulls center boards, rudders, sail and side seats.
Can anyone point me to where I can find a mast, crossbeams, tramp and rigging?
Thanks!!

You may find a mast here in the classified section
your gonna have to search real hard for beams (probably off a boat that has died)
tramp and rigging can be purchased lots of places
I suggest Sunrise Yacht Products for the best tramps made, also Tampa Tramps will be ok

Rigging - i would suggest standing rigging kits from Murray's.com or Salty Dog Marine

Have seen a 1986 boat for sail in NJ craigslist for $500 obo several times, might show up again.
Someone in Fla has a parts boat and a sailable boat. Again on craigslist.
Wish I could remember exact locations.
Have found some with google search. They start showing up around page 4 or 5
Good luck -

Here is a complete H17 for $500 in Phoenix:

You already have the spare parts we keep around for repairs.
I don't know this guy or the boat.

Finding another boat and combining the best parts of both is the way to go. You'll spend a lot buying individual parts, although buying new standing rigging is easy, inexpensive and recommended. Good luck, make sure a Hobie 17 is what you want, the bones may be free but the money will add up quickly to the point you could get something ready to sail. Not trying to be a downer, just trying to get you on the water
