See full version: Hobie cat 75
Hobie quit manufacturing and selling Hobie Float Cats and parts a long time ago. Over time the Float Cats will start looking like Frankenboats.
I went through my garage, laundry room, pantry, spice rack and medicine cabinet to see what might fit. I found 4 close fits in the medicine cabinet. They don’t fit perfect but it can be forced on and given a quarter turn.
Good summary by PL! A positive is the H pontoon design does seem more stable to wind and maybe to leaning from seat position in open water compared to FT or kayak.
Hobies tend to hang up on rocks between toons when walking or riding them down rapids, instead of sliding over. Plus the negatives addressed by PL, and more.
If you are not after the Frankenboat look, you can wipe down the replacement cap with rubbing alcohol and then spray it with flat black. I did this with all of my PVC pipe accessories and they look pretty good.

Brand new, never out of the box Togiak fishing float tube.$165.00/0B0 more
This float tube is ready to fish or just float down a river, has tackle bags built in. Retails for 2 to 3 times . Summer awaits. Great for getting on water , small ponds or back water that are inaccessible otherwise.
This float is 13.5 inches in diameter and weighs 6 pounds. It is made of hard plastic. My father was commercial fishing out of Westport, Washington in the mid 1980’s where he found it floating in the Pacific Ocean. $50. We searched online and can’t find anything similar offered for sale. Will meet you at a public place like McDonald’s in Selah or by Fred Meyer. Socially distanced.
Brand new , never used Creek Company ODC 420 ultralight fishing float. Included brand new pump, and swim fins. If trying to purchase now would cost over 250.00. Asking 200.00 or B.O. more
Got an email from Backwoods that prompted me to post this. Hobie has discontinued it. They have the F/C 60 in stock but it's only rated for 250 lbs. This one is rated for 350 lbs. [links]
If you aren't familiar with it, it looks like this:
I'm hoping a small Hobie shop somewhere in Texas has one in stock or a person bought one and doesn't use it.

Cabelas now has the Tahoe Fisher back in stock. I've ordered one of those.
