after talking with the neighbor (who came out and helped me get this onto the trailer) the previous owners weren't exactly truthful. it's been outside a year, not 2 months... which i suspected by the amount of grime on it but that's not the end of the world.

Tramp seems sturdy. it has a little bit of separation on a couple of the grommets but overall seems ok. My guess is that's teh first thing i'll replace on it. It might not be this year, but it'll happen.

as suggested i'll probably also do the stays as well. I'm dragging it up to the lake house tonight and i'll have it pressure washed and laid out int he morning.
