Firstly thanks for the response Steve and Gary. Now I am really confused !Gary I like Triangle cut tramp, could that hold somone lets say in the 200lbs range if need be. Steven you answered my next question with that picture of the trampoline material which is openweave to let water and air pass through yet this is still a problem. Both boats are fantastic looking, how can you not like these boats !So Steve for that forward tramp beam does that simply connect to the bridal tang in some manner .Does that beam up front improve the overall stiffness of the boat being that it looks like an XL. Somone picked up R.Murph's boat 6.0 XL that also is a well kept machine."SAy youu can,t liv in dat negatif way-You know what I mean-Make way for the positve Day" Robert Nestor Marley.....
