About 7 years ago, I met a guy who is now my friend. He was learning how to sail a Hobie 16 and I gave him some advice and eventully sailed on his boat. It was Hobie 16 number 166, as stamped into the aluminum stanchions.

This boat's hulls were severely faded from sun, but they were as hard as glass with not a soft spot to be found.

I do not know what the weight of this boat was.
