Waiex191, what size are you and your mate? I was worried that the smaller boats (16/18) might be too small for us. My wife and I are fine, but my other mate is my size and were pushing 450#. Do you feel like the 16 is a good size for you? I wouldn't mind a lighter mast! Do you have wings on it?
Again, thanks for the kind reply!
My son and I are up to about 410. We definitely have to watch our positioning when sailing. I think it is a good size. We also have a Supercat 17 project and I'm looking forward to getting that boat going due to the extra flotation. I took my other son and wife on the boat, and 3 up it seemed too small. No wings, I think an H16 is the wrong boat for that.
Check out this Joyrider TV video, 475 lbs on an H16.
