Getaway 2000-02 Forward Trampoline 3/8" Bolt Rope-Black Hobie Getaway Forward Trampoline or front trampoline is constructed of black mesh unlike the Hobie factory version. Polypropylene mesh is the ideal material for beach cat tramps because it is light, strong and comfortable with very good UV resistance and does not pool water. Polypropylene Mesh is far superior to the Nylon Mesh that Hobie uses, this trampoline should last 2-3 times as long as the Hobie version. Trampolines take 2-3 weeks to build when out of stock. Details: This tramp is not made by Hobie Cat and is therefore is not legal for Hobie Class racing. Murrays black mesh trampolines are more comfortable and will last 2-3 times as long as the factory nylon webbing trampolines. Recommended Lacing Line: 15' of 3/16" Prestretched line. Quick identifiers: 2000-2002 - trampoline track slot on the hulls is pointing upwards - 3/8" bolt rope 2002-2016 & 2021 to present - trampoline track slot on the hulls is angled downwards - 1/4" bolt rope 2017-2020 - Wave penetrating style hulls with the lower portion of the bow extending past the top of the bow. Thread Options: UV exposure is the main thing that degrades the tramp stitching. Polyester Thread is the standard construction, we recommend this for people who cover their boats or store them indoors half of the year or more. Teflon thread is much more UV resistant and extends the life of the tramp. We primarily recommend the Teflon thread for boats that are left uncovered in the sun for the majority of the year. Life expectancy - With Nylon thread if left mostly uncovered these should last 5-9 years. Teflon thread should last 9-15 years in the sun. If you cover them they can last 20-30 years. Lacing Line not included: Order 30 ' of 3/16 VLS and cut 1 x 24' piece and 2 x 3" pieces of 3/16 for the lacing line. Compare to Hobie part# 37980055
