My first boat was a Hobie 16. Local radio station and Hobie Fleet was giving rides for the March of Dimes. For $10 you got a ride and a T-Shirt, money went to them. That was 1979, I bought the boat and have been hooked ever since. I went from C fleet to A fleet in a year and a half on that boat!! So John, was the 4.3 a good trainer for the new boats? Still want to get a Blade.
