Per your prior post, the Hobie 14 does not come with trapeze, so you will always be sitting on the tramp or hiking out. Most of us "lay" on the tramp, resting on an elbow or prone with our weight appropriately placed for the type of boat, near the front beam on the Hobie 14. I think it is comfortable. Hiking out is no different than the F5, hiking straps on the tramp.
