what is the weight range of each bare hull ? is it foam filled and can it get waterlogged ? thanks, this is my first hobie and want to be sure I haven't bought a slug that will consume too much time and money to enjoy.

New hulls weigh between 67-72 lbs each.Yes they can get waterlogged.

but they're not exactly "foam filled". The outer walls of the hulls are comprised of a layer of fiberglass, a layer of foam, and an inner layer of fiberglass. The sandwich is roughly 1/2" thick. The inside of the hull, technically speaking, is completely hollow...there may be some secondary flotation in the hulls in the form of Styrofoam blocks.

1616, That's no joke! I itched for a week after that stunt. mad Really, don't try that at home!

I like how the star ratings for that video are plummeting. People are pissed that I cut it up I guess. I thought it would be helpful to see inside of for repairs and what-not.

I guess the general populace of cat sailors aren't faced with this:

Wow
Johnny O using power tools. Where was the adult supervision.
Jimbo Jeremy gets people dropping trashed hulls off to him and he uses them for demonstrations like that. ( No useable Hobies were harmed in the making of his videos )

(The only time I saw Jeremy destroy a good Hobie part was when some Idiot let him skipper his Tiger at Dana Point.) OOps sorry I was supposed to let that go already.
Thanks for everything you do Jeremy.

Btw my wife said to ask "Hey where's A mark?" and "What course are we on?"

Wasn't there a watering hole that used old 16 hulls for the bar? They also make good planters.

Surf city, Jeremy?,

You are a pinhead!

NOt for cutting up a H16 hull- I'm sure you wouldn't have cut up a good hull.

Because you HAVE NO EYE PROTECTION, USING SAWS, ETC.

The glass in your skin, while a major contact irritant, eventually subsides. The eyes can be another story.

I get a kick out of treating people in the ER, or Urgent care, when they come in b/c they got something in their eye b/c they were weed-eating their lawn, with no eye protection. BTW, I do my own lawn dare, and practice what I preach.

Any ol crappy pair of goggles, sunglasses, anything, really protects the eyes from a foreign body. Even slivers of nearly microscopic fiberglass. Oh wait, aren't those old Hobies Carbon? Well same thing.

even though no sailing multihulls were harmed in that video, I still consider it a very graphic horror movie!

Kind of like watching a necropsy. Necessary in some cases, but still disturbing to the uninitiated...

And this is how you get a mailbox hull! The owner forgot his tie down staps and made a right turn driving home (but his boat didn't)

Jeremy, you think people were angry at you for that!!

You should have seen the hatred spewed at Trey when he destroyed a bunch of SOFT Hobie hulls under his Tahoe's tires.

Sure he had fun with it, but he couldn't even GIVE those away and risk being held liable for what happened if people tried to use them.

I've been through three regular 'ol black mailboxes in the last 6 months - I could never put that much energy into it...it would make it too much of a target.

Awesome, I need to replace our mailbox, only change I am making is to bury it upside down and use an old rudder painted red for the flag. Neighbors aught to hate it. laugh
