Just to give you all an update...I've looked at a Hobie 18 (had a soft spot so I walked away), a Prindle 18, and a Hobie 16. I had cash in hand for both the Prindle and Hobie and both sellers backed out at the last minute. Now I can't find one for sale...

Any SC guys in here know of anyone selling a ready to sail boat for around $1000 (with trailer)
