Hey guys... I have a few questions about hull alignment. 1. Are the hulls supposed to be perfectly parallel or slightly toed in? 2. How do you measure this? What are the reference points? (Front and back pylons?) Have a Hobie Day! Sent from Tapatalk |

There is little parallel on a Hobie 16. I have a couple pylon measurements that might be used as a reference. This is from a factory demo some years ago. 78 1/2" center to center forward pylons at deck 77 1/4" center to center aft pylons at deck Fast seems to be loose striker... this allows the hulls to splay out a bit which keeps the flat outer surface more perpendicular (in the water) as the weather hull comes above the water surface. |

So after measuring my boat I got 79" at the tang bolts at the front and 84" between the rudder pins. Had Fred check his boat which is fresh out of a box and he got the same measurements. So at least I'm satisfied that the boat is straight and true.  Have a Hobie Day! Sent from Tapatalk |

Interesting is the measurements change quite a bit 1"+ ,between the boat when it is just sitting rigged and when you pull on jib halyard and sheet the main hard.Strapped in pulls the bows in. |
