Depends on what you mean by towing - on the open road ? No way.
At the ramp, sure...........

What a nice setup, I am impressed! Clean boat too.

BGreene can you provide some speed decrease numbers with the enclosure up versus down? Thinking about the pilot house conversion again...

I tow short distances with my enclosure up.....extremely careful not to go over 45mph. Couple times I've caught myself forgetting and getting up to 50+ mph. Luckily realized it before it was too late!

Beautiful setup BGreene.....good luck with it...who gets to put the first scratch in that crystal clear plastic???

Makes mine look like its a hundred years old.. Speaking of which has anyone had good success with the plastic polish they sell. I just bought a bottle but havent tried it yet.

I've had good success with prior boats using plain carnuba wax.....or just turtle wax.
Use very soft cloth such as undershirts to apply light coat and buff off. Crystal clear.
Avoid the specialty products - those indicate not to use on plastic or vinyl.
Thank you all for the thoughtful comments.

I've had good results with plast-X

Great Top Bgreen! Plenty of height, plenty of clear area, really nice! Can you close in the back side? I'd like one just like it with a zip out door in the back. Got a quote of around 2000.00 with 3 bow and full enclosure. Just waiting for the right time to carry it to A Stitch Above in Smithfield Va.

Got the zippers to close up the back if ever wanted, but I didn't want to go that way..........

Three sides is all I need for how I fish - wind / spray / and rain blocker with plenty of room inside . Thanks

I think I can build a pilot house much less than $2000. BGreene is onto something with the bow slide cover though. I am still admiring his new enclosure.
