[quote=Edchris177][quote]The Hobie factory mesh tramps are expensive but about as good as a tramp can be.
I've used both one and tree piece on the H18 with wings without a problem.

[quote]I also second the statement that Hobie tramps are about as good as you can get. A Hobie tramp that's been well maintained (i.e., kept out of the sun when not being used) can easily last 20 years.[/quote]
That's exactly what I was thinking. The one being replaced is original, has only lasted since '84 :-D
I had never given it a second thought as other than a bit of bleaching of the blue color where the hiking straps go, there was zero damage, no loose threads, holes. The welded seams were all solid.
I don't know if the small rip that started,(right where the jib block would hit), was due to the jib block, or something else. I thought it might be repairable, but one of us knelt on it during a good wind dy, & zzzziiippp!
It tore about 3'.[/quote]
