And I was thinking about making some meatballs for you guys for the Down the Bay race ... no meatballs for you, Todd

I think the beer has a bigger impact on my wieght ..... (maybe I just need to drink more Wild Turkey 101).

Could be the knots ..... but how do you get around that? You have to untie them to re-tighten the tramp ... you tie them again, race the boat ... and the knot "set-in again. Seems like a vicious circle.

My TheMightyHobie18 tramp sounds like a big base drum .... buum, buum, buum .... remember I pull and stretch the bungie a fair amount .... in effect "Pre-loading" the tramp.
