| Post subject: | Weight of Baby Bob |
Hi guys, i am just thinking of buying a Baby Bob for my new (used) Hobie 13. The 13 is comparable to the wave with GFK hulls but I am not very experienced with cats so i thought might be a good idea. The question is how much weight has this float as the mast is already heavy to raise for me as I have to do it alone and I have no pin for my old styled mast base.... Thanks for the info and greetings, Micha |

Yes, I thought it could be even more difficult if additional 2,6 pounds are at the end of the mast...But maybe worth. I am just thinking about installing an awful kanister that I have here but this thing has only5 liters. maybe enough for my Hobie 13 with hullweight of 21,6 kg but maybe not. The Bobby is very expensive here in Germany...

There not cheap here either. I used a boat bumper clamped in a bracket. I made it for a friend of mine that didn't have the money for a BOB. It worked. |
