I posted this in the hobie forums also. I'm a new cat sailor (sailed 3 rentals before, really loved it). I have lots of experience on a 1976 sunfish, which I want to replace mostly for extra speed and passenger capacity. I'm currently looking at 2 boats priced around $900, both in excellent condition. Should I get:
1991 prindle 16'
1985 hobie 16
Both come with trailers and 2 trapeze harnesses.
I am inclined to go for the Prindle, as I would like a lighter more responsive boat and could use those large hulls to carry 5 people.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
