SLO Sail and Canvas makes a nice tramp! |

I wonder how it will hold up? I've heard it's worth the extra investment in Hobie branded tramps, so when it was time for me to get one, I bit the bullet and bought the OEM one. The red looks pretty though, that is certain! |

The red looks pretty though, that is certain! I agree, the original Hobie tramp lasted 30 years!! No doubt they are high quality. BUT slo sail and canvas offered the right color, adjustable hiking straps and a zippered pocket (which BTW is awesome). The experience I had tightening the lacing (I was not forgiving on the grommets) and using the boat this weekend the tramp has proved to be very durable. |

It is vinyl, so it does not drain water through the material. But water buildup isn't much of an issue, especially when flying a hull Mesh tramps do work well for draining water but I don't like how they spit water up from underneath mostly because it throws your lines all over the place. |

They also make a mesh tramp that looks the same. I've had one for 8 years and love it. I did have to install a new zipper on the pocket but that's because someone got to aggressive with it. |

I actually love the fact that water comes through the mesh tramp. After moving from a rough lake to a pretty calm one... I enjoy the occasional splash! I miss getting drenched constantly! |

I just bought and sold a boat that had a mesh tramp made by SloSails. It was about 4 years old and was holding up pretty good other than a small tear in the front pocket. I don't care for the zippered pouch in the front of the tramp, it gets in the way of the Jib lines. |

FYI, in 2011 Hobie made some red H16 trampolines, I don't know if they are still available or not. I tend to think so. Here is a link to a photo of one on the factory website: http://www.hobiecat.com/sailboats/hobie-16/photos/, it's the photo of two guys trapezing on a boat with a red jib. My friend Max Hudson took second place at the youth nationals with a red OEM tramp, so it will obviously make your boat faster! |
