I'm looking to buy a used Hobie Wave. Can anyone suggest things to look for that might be problematic down the road? The roto hulls sound pretty indestructible but I thought maybe there are types of things to look out for. Thanks for any advice.

Make sure the hulls are not cracked. Check where the black bars go in and around them.

Make sure the sail is not ripped
Check over the mast to see if there are no dents or anything else
Check to see if the trampoline is not ripped.
If the boat is setup check to see where all the connections tie on to and see if they are strong or look like they will fall apart. (This is where the have circle looking metal that gets screwed to the boat to connect all the wires)

But if thing are ripped you can always replace them over time.

After owing one for 2 years that's what I would look for. But others might look else where.
