Post subject:  Hobie Cat 18 Hull Fix Up
Hey everybody,
I just wanted to know If anyone here has ever taken the decks off a hobie 18 and the successfully put them back on. After reading some posts It sounds as if it is very difficult to do, But I have tools and free time. :D

Why would you ever want to do this?

I have tools and free time, too, but this is just a long, drawn out way to destroy a boat or get one that's really ugly.

NO

it doesn't get any simpler than that.

If you are one of those people that being told NO is just like a red flag to a bull and you are determined to try, I suggest you hit your thumb with your sledge hammer. The pain will be more intense, but it won't last as long.

If you do take the decks off, it's mandatory to take video for my collection.

Hey thanks for the reply,
The only reason I wanted to know was because I parted out an H-18 and the only parts I have are the hulls and cross members. I want to make a fishing boat out of it and I need to get inside the hulls to work on them because they have several large soft spots and I'm planning to add a large permanent motor mount that will mount where the rudders where.

years ago there was a kit called "Wild Thang" that put an engine on an 18 hull. I remember the pictures; maybe you can do a search. I think it was a Florida team that played with it.

The price page hasn't been updated since 2002 - I'm not sure they're still in production.
