Hobie 14....

[P.V.]

Am probably gunna buy a 14 Hobie off a buddy. We have no idea what a "fair" price for it is. No trailer, probably a 5 or 6 on scale of 10. Trampoline ripp'd (my fault due to old age of material but I did the damage). Most ropes could be replaced, blah, blah, Any thoughts on what one should go for? Oh, early to maybe mid 1980.... ???

Re: Hobie 14....

check ebay and boattrader.com for similar boats and check their price accordingly....a couple hundred bucks should be fair...

P.V.<br />Dont forget to check for cracks on the hulls. Older Hobies will usually show stress cracks which let water inside. If the boat is 5-6, then chances are it was not properly maintained throughout its life.<br /><br />Just thought I'd mention....<br /><br />Nav
