I've got a 2010 16 SK. I searched the forum to see if someone can tell me what the SK stands. I loved this boat, but living in Charleston and the lack of launch sites is forcing me to sell it. I just wanted to know what the SK stands for.
Thanks

It would be "SE". That stood for Special Edition. Black anodized aluminum, colored tramp and sails. Back when there were clear anodized aluminum (silver) boats.

As in this pic, notice the framework for the tramp is all black. Mine is a 1984 version and is also a “redline”. Yellow hulls, yellow tramp, yellow ‘84 Nationals sails. I call her “Yellow Fever” of course. Lol.

It's definitely "SK" - see the photo

That is a memorial sticker for Stan Korzeniewski from the Madcatter regatta in Syracuse.

Cheers

Ah, thank you - I bought my Hobie from a dealer in Syracuse. Makes sense - thanks.

Looking at the metal corners by those rollers is making me cringe!
