1982 Hobie 18, great condition with MANY extras- $4000/ OBO
Looking to sell my 1982 Hobie 18 Catamaran. I bought this boat in Maine three years ago. The boat was competitively raced until the mid 90's then placed in the owners garage where it was meticulously stored until I purchased it. This boat was top of the line when it was raced and shows in all the upgrades that were added to it. Since owning the boat I completely updated the trailer with new lights, wiring, added Cat Trax cradles that pivot on the rear of the trailer and new cradles to the front, and made a new door for the storage tube as well as added a hand winch to help step the mast. As for the boat I replaced all the lines and upgraded some minor parts. Rebuilt the roller furler drum for the jib. The boat includes harken blocks, original epo rudders and the race sails that are still crisp due to proper storage, retractable hiking stick and a solid trampoline. Replaced the trapeze wires with Can't Miss Rings and new bungies. The boat is a blast to sail and is extremely fast on the water. Its small enough for the Manasquan reservoir, but big enough to tackle the bay. Don't be discouraged that since the boat was made in 1982 and is no longer in production that you cant find parts for it, Murray.com as well as the local Hobie dealer can get you almost anything you may need. Yes the Hawaiian blue gel coat is faded due to its age but all the fiberglass is perfect. I do have a title and registration for the boat.
Included are many extras:
