[quote=MN3][quote]just to clarify, it has the "pleather" tramp.[/quote]
yes, not as big a deal... it's the mesh Polypropylene and Polyester stitching that are the ones you MUST be very careful with... the pleather ones seem to be more robust and hold up pretty well to years of UV. the mesh ones have about a 5 year lifespan in the sun (at least around here in africa/florida)

I bought my cat from a very mean angry guy (still reading these threads Dave?) and he bought it from a guy who had stored the boat for years and didn't inspect it at all before he brought his family out sailing... after he couldn't get the center boards down.. he found out why.. a family of wasps had taken up in the board wells... in his (and family's) dancing around on the boat (while being attacked by wasps) he then learned the tramp was shot (as he and his family fell through it....he then hit shallows, and was so worked up and angry about the day.. he sold the cat on the spot to the mean, ugly, angry, opportunist that owned it prior to me...

(just kidding dave, your not really an angry guy... well not till you read this at least)  :)
