Hi, I will be replacing my tramp on my 1984 Hobie 16' and want to use the correct line.

I wanted to check some details I have seen online.

Need about 60' of low stretch polyester line
~20' - Middle
~15' - Aft (times 2 ?)
Total of 50', but get 10' extra so you have some to pull on & tie off

Seems that the standard diam is 1/4", but some folks recommend 3/8"

Purchase at West Marine?

Thank you for your help!

WM is the "store of last resort"
i would order from APS, Murray's, saltydog, or best of all.. your local sailing shop before i purchase from WM,

they charge a premium for their stock

Not APS unless you find something suitable on their Sale Rack

APS No Longer Sells and Stocks Hardware, Line or Rigging Services.....Strictly Soft Goods and Clothing
