Love it if it were that simple and I could just get out the jigsaw, but it's not. The original Supercats (of which this is one) have a tramp that wraps completely around the aft crosstube. They did it that way because the first SC was the 20, which had a 12' beam that telescoped down to 8' for trailering, and the traveler runs on a cable (over top of the tramp) instead of a track.
In the later (non-telescoping, trailerable) boats they went to a conventional track on the crossbeam, but I have one of the originals. So whatever I do, it has to clamp around the crosstube and not damage the tramp, just like I think the Mast Caddie will, perhaps with a little padding. Or be something else that I haven't figured out yet.
