I have been back and forth between the Hobie Getaway and the H16, FRP vs. rotomolded, etc. I am not worried about a few dollars one way or another, but since its a major PITA to get a boat shipped here, I want to get it right. With a combined weight of the two of us just under 400 lbs and wanting to be able to take a couple guests from time to time, it seems the Getaway is in the lead. We have LOTS of wind, all the time. I dont plan to race the 20 and 30 year olds on their sleek 16's, and it doesnt sound like the H16 would move much with four adults my size on it, so its getting easier to choose.

but, dammit, I sure like the 16s.
