Thanks for the info Philip. What about the 'tramps' between the main hull and the amas? Seems like some of them have them, others don't, are they an add on type option or do they all have them, but some people just don't put them on?

I've got a good canoe right next to my dock for fishing, and with the Hobie 14, Prindle 18 and Blade, just haven't got around to buying yet another boat that will sit unused 90% of the time.

I was thinking of something like that Adventure Island tandem trimaran, with tramps, so I could take a couple dogs out with me. They love the canoe but won't sit still and are always trying to tip it over while I'm standing up, fly casting out of it! They also love the Prindle, but keep sliding off the tramp every time I fly a hull too high!
