Thanks for the encouraging words Keith. The tramp is a contributing factor to buying the boat, or I should say boats, but not the only one. There are 2 of them and they won't sell just one. They've been sitting derelict for 15 years. All lines need replacing, the tops of hulls are shot on one of them so it will probably get stripped of parts, chain sawed into pieces and hauled off. If I could figure out how to post a pic, I'd show you the one I took last night that shows the one with the good hulls and the tree that's growing through the tramp. It'd be good for a laugh.
I have a knack for taking on projects that turn out to be infinitely bigger than I anticipate, and I suspect this will become one of those. But I miss my old Tornado and if I look at newer, better and pricier cats some other toy will have to go. I did get a price on the trampoline today - $900. Both boats are $1K. Could be a bargain, could be a huge mistake.
