I bought a Hobie 16 and a trailer for $300. The H16 hulls, frame, mast, boom and trailer are in good shape, everything else is in poor shape, including the rudders. The rudders are EPO rudders, so I will be restoring them to make them a backup set, swapping them out with my current white plastic rudders backup set. If all goes well, I'll have a decent set of EPO rudders as a backup, and a trailerable H16 for sale.
Here's what the rudders look like:
They are pretty beat up. At least they weren't in the sun for the last 10 years, they were in a barn! One had what appears to be a crack in it:
Ouch! The edges don't look good either:
I'll have to sand them down to see what damage we really have.
