You shouldn't have any problem finding them in the San Diego area. From what I understand, many of them can't even be given away. Im shopping for a
Lazer and hear this a lot. Sorry I can't help you with "where' but I'll look around.
By the way, the Lazer is a small, go-fast olympic class and much easier tto handle, probably why Hobie's have declined in popularity.

Just Google Hobie Cat 17 for sale, and the 16 and 17 are totally different boats the 17 is a much better boat and much more expensive, some of the
old 16s hulls get spongy.

Lots of Hobie 16's on Craiglist. I do not know much about the characteristic differences between the 16 and the 17 but most of the ones for sale seem
to be the 16's.

No time like the present to learn about sailing, especially on a Hobie. I've followed this thread with interest because I'm considering looking for a
Hobie or a Prindell Cat myself. Only sailed one once over 20 years ago but what a kick! After years of only sailing monohulls with a top speed of
6-8 knots I was like a little kid on Xmas morning screaming across the water up on one pontoon and hanging in a trapeze at nearly 30 Kts. They say
they could hear me giggling clear back on shore.
Will be building on the beach inside El Mogote in La Paz and a Hobie or Prindell would be a great way to introduce my kids to sailing. It is sad to
see lake lice (JetSkis and Seadoos) cause the demise of such a great activity.
I agree with the need for a motor especially for my fishing but Blowboats will always have their place.
Once you get the basics of sailing out of the way you can qualify to do this. http://www.sunsail.com/yachts/destinations/caribbean especially bareboat. If you don't include airfare a week on a monohull is cheaper than a
houseboat at Lake Mead.

The Hobie 16 and 17 are much different boats. In my experience, the H-16 has a nasty habit of digging into the wave ahead--the bow stops and the
transom keeps going! After being launched like off a catapult a couple of times, I went to a H-18. Much more stable boat. I understand the H-17 is
very nice, too.

WE have a really cool little day sailer...a racing class boat named a Sunfish we want to sell for $200...it's too hard to get it out through the big
waves here so we don't use it much but it's awesome and very stable and fun for one or two people. You can put it in your pick up...I think it's 16'
and gaff rigged.

actually... the sunfish are pretty nice learning things...
$200 is a give-away price

susan wants a new Hobie 17
there's so many Hobies around you'd think every corner boat dealer would sell um...
"hobie" is almost a household word in california

Here in Loreto I see them sitting in yards with tons of dust on them. Rudolpho who owns the Budget Rentals had one couple years ago. Maybe posting a
sign on Cafe Ole's here in Loreto might find one of those owners that would let go of it. I'll keep my eyes open and if I see one I'll inquire for
you down here. Phil & Wendy (Loreto/Nopolo
