Is there a problem with the amount of torque I see in my boat? It was blowing in the low 20s mph so I at 300lbs and my friend at 150 were both in the aft weather corner.

Torque? Twist? Bow down on the lee side of the shot from behind?

Pretty normal for the Getaway. The crossbar connections are not rigid.

Thanks.
This was after installing a new front tramp and tightening the old main tramp. The boat feels much tighter now so I was a bit surprised to see that much twist in the photo. I was hoping it was normal because the boat feels great.
