So true. I bought my Hobie 21SE for $2400. It was my first big boat and I figured I was going to keep it for a while. I had a modern EP spin made for it and a new main and jib from Clavert. Then a new trampoline. I remember someone at 05 Tiger Worlds in Santabarbara telling me that those boats were pretty valuable. In October or so, a guy called me wanting to buy it (it wasn't for sale). I told him the only way I'd sell it was to get a N20. He gave me $8,000 for it. Tha put me in the ball park for my N20, which I love. But, I wish I never sold the 21. I never really liked the H16 but it got me into sailing.
