I don't even own an 18 and I want those hulls!!!! Its a shame its not in my budget but its better that way If I were to buy them I'd Probably Have to Give one to my ex wife anyway hahahaha

They are not a bad investment even if they go to a home museum

For what it's worth, if anyone is interested, I finally got my new hulls from Jim Sohn, the new hulls weighed in at almost exactly 100# each.

got my old ones (04's) sold, and the new ones beamed up.

The rudder castings required a bit of filing to fit the new style gudgeons.

They put some neoprene at the front and back of the top of the daggerboard trunk that needed to be removed and replaced with something that didn't cause the boards to stick when raising and lowering.

Next step will be to get the tramp on and tight.

Can't wait to get them on the water

Anyone else had their new hulls on the water yet ?

Stephen, When you get it to the water please post some pictures so we others who are in love with the 18 can drool.
