I've had my I20 for 2 years now, and we still don't have any meathooks on our trap wires. Even on previous boats I've owned, I never had any serious problems with hooks in the trap wires/shrouds.......It seems to me that you could replace your trap wires every 3 years (you ARE replacing your shrouds that often, aren't you?), and have minimal problems with meathooks. I assume that synthetic line trap wires would have to be replaced at least every 3 years also due to chafe and/or UV degredation.



All in all, I don't really see a big advantage to ditching the wire. Am I missing something?
