I have just bought a used Hobie that has the rear lacing tramp. Two questions: this boat is wider than my old 16. Does not having a center-laced tramp make the boat wider? The second question is related to this...is there any dropoff in performance with a rear-lacing tramp? It seems like a wider boat that does not have the center-laced tramp would not be as rigid.....
Thanks in advance.
