Would any of you. . . `

Would any of you choose to put a motor mount on your hobie 18? I have a cheata motor bracket thingy that came with the boat, but I haven't really concidered it.

... Blasphemy ....

kinda what I was thinking. I've got a motor and the cheata mount. Maybe I'll get them all in order and see if there is maybe someone from the 21 crew that would want it.

I'M looking to buy a Cheata Motor Bracket for my Hobie 18 & I think its a good idea.

Thanks... Mike

Mike, that's why I posted. I think that it would be ok if you watched the weather, but as the wind builds, it looks less and less like a good idea. Where I live, it would work about 80% of the time. Just wouldn't want to go over with a motor sitting behind me.

The loading ramp I use puts me in water that is like a thin piece of pie... and the prevailing wind comes head on. A motor bracket and motor would help me get out.

As far as I am aware, motor mount folks are happy folks.

Thanks... Mike

Mike where you located and how much you looking to spend on a motor mount? I've got one. . . you know. . lol.

lol... lol... How much would you be willing to sell yours for... and are you sure its the right one for a H-18?

Mike

Not really sure what it's worth. It was mounted to the 18 when I acquired the boat, so I'm assuming that it's the right one for it. They bolted it right through the rear crossbar. A good friend of mine has a 1.5 motor that would work nice with it too.

Maybe some others could chime in on how much is a fair price for it. I really don't see me using it . . . where I trailer sail mine is pretty sweet. No problems getting out or in.
