Two adults on a Hobie 17 will put the stern completely underwater. FX One is a little better but really, you would be better off with a Hobie 16.

Agreed, H18 is perfect.
Hobie Getaway will also work.

BTW, we patch and polish the gelcoat, we try not to paint Hobie's.
Painting adds a lot of weight and does not work well.
