There are two "old style" Tiger tramps. The oldest attaches to a slot in the hull on the sides. The other one isn't attached to the hulls, but goes under the front x-bar. The latest edition goes over top of the front x-bar. |

You can retro-fit the "Type II" tramp. It's a lot easier to get on and off. The one that threads into the track can be a bear. |

Thanks Matt I emailed Hobie to see if they still have any of old tramps for sale if not I may see what the price difference would be to retrofit vs having SLO sailing make me one like the old one. |

I had SLO make me one based off the one that came off and that allowed me to make a few tweaks I will post up some photos once its installed. |

What did it run you? My 02 Tiger tramp is starting to tear at the halyard pocket What mods did you do? Id like to have a few more grommets for control lines, mast rotation etc. Id love to see Picts when you get it! |

I had SLO increase the pocket size, add the lacing grommets down the one side, put two more grommets by the mast base so I can run the downhaul lines under the tramp in the future. It was $310 add shipping and Teflon stitching it came to $370. I will post up some pictures this week I started to put it on yesterday but I didnt have any lacing rope to do the side but the front to back fit is perfect once I lace the side up it will fit nice & tight. |

That sounds very reasonable, definitely shoot me a picture, I'm probably going to have them make me one too |

Yes - we still offer the original style tramps, order from any Hobie Cat dealer (specify if it is the one piece or two piece) - the two piece entered a slot in the rear beam, the one piece was a later version that had the button on the rear beam and the fiberglass rod same as current style - but both have bolt rope in the sides of the tramp which slide into the inter graded tracks built into the hulls. Current style tramps can be added - but it require the addition of hardware and the addition of the rear lace rod (which we don't have in stock) The tramps however, we do carry. |
