I am considering replacing my tramp on my H16 and have noticed that a new one costs $100 more for a
Hobie
tramp vs. Murray's tramp. It says the Murray's tramp is not class legal, is this something I'll get DQ'd for? I can spend the $100 on other items to make the boat faster and easier. Any help here would be great. Thanks
If your going to be racing at hobie sanctioned events then go with a hobie tramp. It is worth it to have your boat all class legal. If you try to get away with the cheaper trampoline and someday you go to a regatta and there is a 14 class there is a chance someone would say something. Probably only if you were competitive though. Why bother having to worry about that? I had a problem with people saying my sails weren't class legal on my 18 this summer. Even though they have all the hobie logos and etc. It was definatley not a fun time and I had to go through the hassle of getting a letter of approval and everything. Not worth the time.
