Hey guys! Ive posted on here before when I had a H14 that I was thinking of fixing but after some thought I decided to start with a Hobie 16. Well I ended up buying a 1979 with road and beach trailer. The sail/Jib are great, trampoline looks rough but feels pretty solid....only thing is its missing some hardware, all the lines need to be replaced (thats the next step) and the hulls are also soft. I probably should have just started with some good hulls but I felt for $400 it wasnt a bad deal. Do you guys think these hulls are worth fixing or should I search craigslist for some new used ones? I saw the FAQ about fixing the hulls with the drilling through the top part of the fiberglass. What about the big dents though? The hulls lost some of there form and while the syringe injections could make them strong again they will still be dented. Can it be fixed? Will it affect the ride quality?

Im not looking to race this thing, just to have fun and cruise around with the girlfriend. Let me know what you guys think
