Ok, I wasn't kiddin about haveing eight thousand questions when I came back....

1st. The boat sails damn good thus far it does need some work tho.

My first Question is Can I paint the hulls? They are all chipped and the owner painted it with weird paint that seems to rub off.

Second I the picture below shows a small chip in the top of hull.... what can I repair this with is there some sort of hobie bondo? or body filler? [Linked Image]

Third, I have sailed on a 1988 hobie and the steering is way diffrent than my 1980... can anyone show me pictures of there steering?

Fourth, can anyone recomend any website to buy hobie parts? the boat came with trap lines but they are in box not attached to the mast. but they lack the handles and the diaper mount, so I would like to get thos set up.

Fifth, If I can paint the hulls has any one ever done this and how does it look? I am going to powerwash the old paint off then this winter...

Thats my questions so far I have a lot more but I would like to type them in small amounts.

here is a few more pics of my boat.
