Thanks for telling me your experiences. I think you are right....unless it is a one-time job (it is in my case -I only want to do this once just to get it back home)then it would be inefficient and too time consuming to do. I am currently travelling down a different path. Buying another Cat AND Trailer out in California and bringing both boats across country on the same trailer. It looks to me that if I disassemble the Hobie 16 I can slide the pontoons between the pontoons of the still assembled cat. Then hang both masts on the same support post and I'm home free. The weight doesn't appear to be an issue and certainly I wouldn't have your issue of the load being top-heavy so I think it will work. I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks again, Hope we talk again.
