Posts: 6 Texas | Thanks - I'm still trying to find a deal on a Club, but it's good to know that there are alternative methods available. I did see one on eBay, but I'm a little concerned about some damage to the starboard hull. Matt - can you tell from the picture if this "wrinkle" (as the seller calls it) is something that could cause the hull to collapse under heavy pressure on the forestay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hobie-Wav...bayphotohosting | | | Re: Classic Wave

Posts: 6 Texas | Thanks Rick. I asked the seller about the "wrinkle," as did another person. He seemed to be doing the old "trust me - it'll be fine." Kind of hard to do that from 600 miles away. I guess I'll just keep looking - adding the cost of the rudder assembly, the sail and a trailer does bring the minimum cost closer to the high $2,000s. By the way, how much of an issue is old vs. new rudder assembly? Besides, I guess there is no rush right now since most of the north Texas lakes have been closed for a while due to flooding. The local Hobie fleet ( http://hobiefleet23.com/)had to find an alternate location because Hobie Point is under water. | | | Re: Classic Wave

Posts: 3,355 Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | Going price for selling an older club boat has been $2000 for me. I just sold two of mine to future fleet members. That is with the standard sail, in good shape, but a little on the blown out side. Boats themselves are in good shape - new tramps.., may need a little work on the rudder slop, but no big costly deal. Rick | | | Re: Classic Wave

Posts: 24 central Maine | Perhaps add the lacing eyelet posts that are used on the Getaway and 20. Then lace the tramp across the aft and do away with the straps. That would clear the top of the crossbar for a traveler. Matt, can you list the part number and rivet size for those eyelet posts? I looked ar the Getaway parts diagrams, and those lacing posts are not listed. I want to perform this mod on mine to get rid of the velcro straps, as I want a traveller. I can post results once I do this. I am sure I am not the only one w/ an SE model wanting better sail control! Thanks! Jim | | |
