How important is delam under the tramp? I did some delam repairs on the front of hulls but kinda didnt want to have to take tramp off to do underneath. If I need to then I need to so let me know. Thanks -

Yep. As popeyez7 says, fix it. Delamination is a structural issue and shouldn't be ignored. Catastrophic hull failure is no fun and can be dangerous.

Yea I thought that would be the case. Its pretty bad. The left hull pretty much the whole part under the tramp. I did the front of the hull which turned out good so it shouldnt be a problem once I get the tramp off. Whats the best way about taking the tramp off? Does it just unbolt there and pop off or is it more complicated than that?
