This a years-later reply to an old post but is exactly the info I am looking for.
I'm trying to find the Hobie Hotline "this old boat" article mentioned by the original poster but have come up short. Can anyone point me to it?
I found the
magazine archives here but couldn't find the article.
My situation as an 18" Hobie with hull damage from heavy snow in the Lake Tahoe region putting so much weight on the boat that the trailer rollers on one hull pushed through the hull. Such a bummer because a little winter prep would have made it so avoidable. Not my boat but I'm going to fix it so we can sail this summer.
