After reading a few of these posts I'm not sure mine even qualifies. I’m doing fairly well on the fuel economy side and I could beat that 152 mph if you’d insert a decimal between the 5 and the 2. I have most of you beat on 928 content though, as that’s what I’ll be using to tow it to and from the water. Factory hitch installed, I just need to either change the trailer to 2” or make and adapter for a 1 7/8” ball.

Love the Hobie, got my first one when I was 12, 14' turbo. Finally sold it back in 1997. Parents had a Prindle 18 and we'd run the Prairie Regatta at Cheney Lake every year. Really miss those simple days. Hell, I miss being on the water whenever I wanted to be.

Thanks Eric, We're hoping to get to use it more often. It really is a great boat, 4 staterooms, twin cats, watermaker, two cat generators, w/get home spare shaft drive. 5000 natical mile range, a walkin freezer in the forepeak, she can stay out for 6months at a time, no problem. And cruise to any port in the world.

I have two addictions 928's and boats. I built a 50ft steel hull trawler, I have a 500hp 20ft Marathon marine jet boat for the rivers in land locked Alberta and a couple of 12ft lasers that we sail at the cottage and I love all of them. It's a sickness. Polecat shoot me a PM if you need crew, any place any time.

Cool! My first boat was a Catalina 30 (hull# 427, still sailing on SF bay). That was also my first sail to Hawaii in '82, and back to San Fran, and also how Sue and I met. Long story.
We've got two boats now, a 50' sloop that we've had for 20 years (yikes!) and which took us around the world (another long story), and a 25' aluminum pilothouse fishboat for bumming around the islands here. I need to find some pic's....

If I ever get a chance two S4 motors or euros in a boat would be nice.

Love Catalina's! I had a very nice 22 for a while (previous pic in thread) and have been looking for a well taken care of 30.
I went J/24 racing last night on Lk Washington. What a hoot!
