Looking for 18 (or so) foot cat hulls anyone will let go dirt cheap. Any boat that is incomplete and hard to sell would be of interest. Carolina's, Georgia, and N. Florida area.

Thanks.

reason for the request is that the G-Cat 5.7 is toast.

You had me wondering...what happened?

Capsized in a squall Sat, went turtle and one hull was done in when the SC DNR motorboat was trying to right it. They meant well but were overzealous once they started pulling. Luckily no one was hurt.

Awwwww...sorry to hear that.

Thanks, Jake.

yeah, squall line was hell, stinging rain felt like hail it was blowing so hard. Glad you guys were okay.

Good racing, great party, Jake we missed you!

Yeah, Bummer. But the bright side is you have more experience and it's the old story...it didn't kill you so it has made you stronger.

did you guys race the long course? What was the elapsed time?

Check craigslist.org in all these areas. There is a Prindle 18 for sale for $700 and Hobie 18 for $1100 right now on the raleigh craigslist site.

If Trey replies to this thread he'll most likely know of something or you might just want to contact him.

Jake,

We sailed course 2 and Trey finished in 1:39 but flipped over before the finish. Renee and I finished in 1:42 and I don't remember the rest as we were all keeping our own times.

Yesterday I sent emails to the craigslist ads and already spoke with Trey. Thanks.

I'm going to create a page on Team Seacats to keep track of the times. Do you guys have these recorded down to the second or is that it? Any GPS plots out there? Who was crewing with Trey?

I just grabbed a guy off the beach who was going to be sailing with the only H16 in the race. The H16 ended up just going singlehanded, which he seemed to prefer anyway.
My crew had only been on a cat once before (a H16), in light wind. His eyes were wide open by the time we got back to the beach...

Trey, Congrats! Also, what is with your name at the top of the who's naughty list? Can that be right?

Hey, cut me some slack! I worked very hard to get on that naughty list...and I intend to stay there.

I've got some 18TH hulls in CT $600.

Alum Beams and tramp included.

PLus a repaired i20 carbon mast, and a repaired Acat carbon hall tapered mast. You could have 2 boats in one. Put the i20 mast on for a 2 hander and the A cat mast for a single hander. Make me an offer.

Bill

You have a PM. And what is an 18TH??

I have a set of h-18 hulls in southern Louisiana (Thibodaux, 70301 ).... they need a new bottom job.... (yep they leak)... But they have no softspots.

I'll take just about any offer...

Well, sounds good but getting them form there to here is the hard part. But one more good possibility.
