Mike:

All those boats are great, there a few cats for sale on both the Santa Barbara and Ventura Craig's List. I personally like the Prindle for use in the ocean of the coast of Ventura/Santa Barbara. There is even a very nice Hobie 18 in Ventura on Craig's, you may want to consider.

Good luck and if your ever interested in doing some ocean racing in Ventura looks us up, there is always someone looking for a crew.
