Posts: 35 Portland, ME | I have an original for you! It is from my '78 H16 and I just replaced it last summer. The Tramp is one of the Yellow vinyl ones, it's pretty faded out, but there are no holes and all the grommets are in place, the boat was used pretty lightly from the time it was purchased. I can send pictures this weekend if you are interested... I wouldn't want much for it.

Posts: 35 Portland, ME | I'm with you on the bungee. I tried it last summer and I was not at all happy with it. The only thing that kept me from changing it out was the time it took me to do it. I think the boat was "loose" as a result of it and the tramp wasn't really that much more comfortable. That's how I really feel, in case you were curious... jrg

Posts: 306 St. Louis, MO | I like Dacron for tramp lacing. It seems to require the least amount of retensioning from all of the materials I've tried. You could use expensive line like Yale Cordage, but I found the Dacron to be the best compromise between price and streachiness.

Posts: 1,252 California | they had doubled the number of grommets which obviously is going to double the tension on the tramp The additional grommets actually allow you to disperse the load over more grommets. This helps to prevent grommets from pulling out. | | | Re: H16 Trampoline
