Hobie 16 boom needed

I am looking for a Hobie 16 boom either brand new or in very good condition. I decided to post this note on this more general section than in the appropriate one (Looking to buy) hoping to gain more readers. The problem I am faced with when trying to get a new boom from my local dealer is that they do not have any in stock, which means that apart from the price of the piece ($312) I would have to take care of the freight charges (about $160 from California to Indiana). Would any of you have any suggestion on how to avoid such high shipping charges? Would anyone have any like-in-new-condition boom for sale?
Thank you very much for all your support.

BS on the freight shipping. Kick your dealer in the nuts.

Hey man your rudders are leaving tomorrow.
