I have been looking online and I am not finding any built for the Tandem.
Anyone have insight on this issue?

I've been given a price by my dealer.
Just place an order with yours and they'll come in due course :wink:

The TI tramps are slightly shorter than the AI tramps. If someone has gotten the TI and has AI tramps, would you be kind enough
to see if the AI tramps could be modified to fit the TI? Do the AI tramps fit the TI akas? I usually roll up my AI tramps on the
forward akas for storage. Could the tramps be rolled up on the TI akas to shorten them to fit.
I plan on keeping my AI so I would like the option of moving the tramps to the working hull.

Well aint that something. I ordered mine from Austin Kayak. What is up with that? And to top it off I ordered in January with a down payment and paid it off last month. Not a real big deal been so busy with other stuff. It will get here I suppose.

I really like the folks at Austin Kayak. They have been very helpful, so I hope I don't get anyone in trouble. I ordered the Tandem Tramps on 3/18 and they shipped them the same day to me. Maybe I got yours. Sorry!

No worries - I do not have the boat either.... They said another 10-14 days. Maybe I get lucky and it gets here sooner.

It sounds like they put the entire order to ship together if possible. I got my TI locally, but ordered all of the options from Austin Kayak, so they didn't combine my order with anything else. Just a theory . . .

The tramps are great fit tight on will support our weight. So nice for carrying odds and ends. All and all a great addition to the yak.

I put my AI tramps on the Tandem...I had to shorten (tighten) the straps on the rear
akas. I still have about one inch of strap for additional tightening. If you want the AI tramps
really tight on the TI, you might have to wrap the tramps one turn on the forward akas and then lengthen the straps out as far as they will go. I never overtightened the tramps when they were on the AI...I wasn't sure how much tension the plastic buckles could hold. So my tramps had a slight sag in the middle as compared to the tramp photos of some of the other owners.
