Morning Deric,

I like a tight tramp that can be adjusted and tightened as it stretches. I have a Goodall one at the moment which has been great so far but it also depends on your methods of attachment.

My boat has the groove built into the inboard sides of the hulls, a aluminium bolt rope groove under the rear beam and a aluminium tube through loops in the front for tensioning. Fitting it is easy, and it is stretched taut when tightened up.

The only two modifications I did do is to really file, flare and smooth out the ends of the grooves in the hull and aluminium bolt rope track, otherwise it tends to chafe on the tramp edges as you stomp around the boat. I also flattened the aluminium tube in the front where it ran over the centre beam so you don't have a rounded edge running over a rounded edge which prevented chafing.

I bought a grey colour as it doesn't fade like the black ones tend to, and is also a lot cooler on the feet, and happily mine still looks pretty new.
