I shall describe the Hobie 14 that I purchased a few years ago, and you can decide from there:
1983 Hobie 14
6 Batten Main - crisp, stored inside
Dolphin Striker + Single trap setup (former turbo, but his ex-wife sold the turbo rigging and jib)
Hulls - No soft spots, tops = chalky white, no repairs, bottoms in need of 2 layers of glass+epoxy
Mast - straight, all aluminum
Rudders - perfect shape + cams fully functioning
Sailing history - owned for 14 years, sailed maybe 5 times per summer but sat for the past 6 years
Galvanized trailer - new wiring and new rims/tires
Cat trax - Old V tread style wheels
He wanted $650 and took $350. Now that I have done the bottom job, replaced all of the standing rigging, blocks, and the tramp, I would estimate that she is worth between $850 and $1000. Make a low offer if you see yourself adding a few hundred in upgrades. The 14s seem to max out in price (ebay) at around $1200 with a 6 batten main and fully restored.
