Post subject: | a collectable? |
I have a hobie 14 that my uncle gave me about 7 years or so ago. he told me that it was from the first year hobie was in business and i remember seeing the serial number '0067' on the boat somewhere. according to the history section here that would make the boat from 1969. when he gave it to me i rebuilt / cleaned / replaced just about everything other than the hulls, frame, mast, and boom. replaced the tramp, the stays, lines, rebuilt the rudders, etc. the sail is not original, and i didn't replace it because it was basically brand new. I'm thinking of selling it because with two little kids, a wife, and house i just dont have the time to use it much. my question: is it worth anymore that its such an old boat with a low serial number? the boat is still in great shape and is perfectly usable. thanks Phil |

Unless it was one of the very first (and nobody knows what serial number they started with), it's just another old Hobie 14.philj wrote: The boat is still in great shape and is perfectly usable. That's more an indication of its value rather than the serial number.
