I have two questions regarding a Hobie 17
1. have a 89 Hobie 17 and some of the local folks recommend I rip out (in small pieces) the foam in the hulls and replace with the foam noodles. The plastic used to cover the existing foam has disintegrated into lots of small pieces. Is replacing the foam with noodles a good idea and if so how many noodles are necessary?

2. Anyone have a used set of racing rudders for the 17 they are willing to sell? The holes in my current rudders are in slightly different places.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Joe
