northqldpete Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks Cruiser. Nice looking boat. I need to source a trailer...a bit far to carry it (800k). Any ideas where to look? I had a little look on ebay and didn't find anything. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Mal is the one to talk to, I'm sure he'd track down a trailer quicker than anyone. Harald up at Tinaroo has a hobie 16 trailer which I'm sure he'd let you borrow. Once you get the boat here, you could then get Ausco to make you one, they're just down near Whitworths. I'd expect to pay around the 1.5-2 K for a new trailer. Did you see the Hobie 16 in Bundy on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Hobbie-Cat-16-foot-of-fun-in-the-sun_W0QQitemZ300367929450QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Boats?hash=item45ef52e06a#ht_500wt_1182 Has Trailer, Rollers, Sailbox .

The only thing you'll need to ask Mal for is a photo of the bottom of the hulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northqldpete Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks ever so much...I have spent some time looking at this and I missed the Bundy boat. I'm on it now!! Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 OK pete, Bargains aren't always bargains, just be very careful. As Mal said to me, if you buy a heap of Sh1t, spend thousands on it, you may still have a heap. Nothing is impossible, check this bloke out in the USA http://www.youtube.com/user/WindRider707#p/u/32/mAWXALUcke8 I hope you have alot of time.... Trust me, if you just want to sail, talk to Mal, he knows more about H16's than anyone else in Queensland. Chocko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hey pete, There is a Hobie 16 in todays Cairns post, $1000 Ph 40592636 At least there is less risk when you can see what it looks like. Chocko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northqldpete Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks for that Chocko. Long time for no response. I did call but it was not much of a cat...in fact someone offered $800 for the trailer and did not want the cat! I REALLY appreciate the thought though.....

forster Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Don't know how far you are willing to travel but here's one that was still for sale at Sydney on the 8/1/10 - bloke selling it sounds decent and can send you plenty of info to help you make a decision. http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Boats-Jet-Skis-boats-jet-skis-other-Hobie-16-twin-trapeze-ready-to-roll-W0QQAdIdZ170684201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
