I don't want to offend you. But why in hell would you want to spend $7000 on such an outdated design?
I mean if your TheMightyHobie18 hulls are toasted part the rest of the boat to other TheMightyHobie18 owners and use your $7000 plus the money you get from parts to buy yourself something more recent...
Because there are a lot of people that still race 18s one-design in the US and AUS. "Buying something more recent" would mean an F18 for most of these people, which is unattractive for a number of reasons - cost, crew demands, no racing fleet in most parts of the country to name a few.
They don't want or need the "latest and greatest".
