Hi there- I have an opportunity to trade for a Klepper Tramp S, RIGID kayak. I have not been able to find any information on this kayak. Does anyone know anything about it? It is approx. 16 feet and fiberglass I believe. It has a rudder system built in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Haven’t found a Tramp, specifically,
but below are links to pictures of composite Kleppers. One link is to a dealer, and maybe they can connect you with the factory. There are so many Klepper folding kayak references that one has to rake through quite a few to find occasional hardshell Kleppers.

Klepper Tramp
I hope you got information on this kayak by now but I just saw your post and I can relate since I own one of these. I have a red over white Tramp II with sponsons. I has no bulkheads or rudder but it does have an aluminum bar foot rest. The seat is integrated fiberglass and is an Ivory color. I still paddle it a couple times a year. It still looks great! It was built around 1965 or so.
