I'm picking up a 16 this weekend for $900, I know it does not have trapeze wires or harnesses. Is it safe to assume I can pick up trapeze wire kits for it so we can double trap? I'm assuming every hobie 16 has the tang where one can hook in trap wires etc...? Thanks #firsthobie |

I'm fairly certain they all have the tang. Where are you located? |

Yes, there are separate holes on the mast tang specifically for connecting the trap wires. All H16s can be rigged with trap wires. I recommend you download a copy of the Hobie 16 assembly manual from this site. It should answer many questions you may have. sm |

I bet when you pick up the boat you will find the trap wires balled up under a life jacket or something. Otherwise yes, all hobie 16 are set up for trap wires. |

Older boats had a single hole in the tang... still OK to set up as double trap. The new tang makes it easier (3 holes). |

Located on Lake Crescent in NORTHWEST Washington. Hoping to meet with the hobie crew in Seattle once it warms up a bit. I already got that manual! U betcha! ...that's how I knew tang wasn't referring to a citrus drink |
