Anyone know if this list was transferred somewhere else and kept evergreen?

When was the Vantage Seat introduced?

When did the hull/ama displacement increase?

I'm considering buying a 2013, anything in that model year I need to know about?


I understand the major upgrade to the hull was with the 2015 model.

Quite a few mods were made in 2015, including vantage seat, more sail and hull on AI. The list hasnt been maintained, and wasn't entirely complete.

I thought the hull increase on the main hull and amas was 2016?

Thanks for the input. I have an opportunity to buy a 2013 in decent shape for $2300 but I'm now re-thinking that to at least a 2015/16 model.

It looks like this thread has gone dark, but just in case anybody is still reading it...

I need a new mast drum for my 2014 AI, which is part number 79512001. I've checked with several Hobie dealers, and it seems that it is unobtainable from Hobie. So, I'm wondering if the mast drum form 2015 and newer AIs will work, which is part number 79512002. Are the diameters (inner and outer) the same? If so, I'm confident that I can make it work.

Thanks for any help that you can provide!

I believe you will need to also replace the mast cup to use the newer year mast.
