1996 Hobie Cat and the guy is asking $3200 is it worth it ?
Only you can answer that question. It depends on the condition of the boat, what else is available in your area, and how badly you want it.
Hobie's catamaran production dropped off significantly in the 1990's and beyond. Not saying there aren't used boats around, but in my area listings in craigslist are filled with boats from the '70s and '80s. Rarely do I see many boats from the '90s and later.
A 1996 Hobie 16 would have most of the features of a current boat, and those that it doesn't have could be easily upgraded if desired. This boat looks like it was garage kept and is in good shape. If the sails are in good shape and the majority of the boat is in good condition, I would think the $3200 asking price is reasonable. Also, those Performance trailers are top knotch IMO. They have a nice sturdy frame and fully boxed cross members, very solid.
