Looking forward to seeing it. Use Photobucket to load pics to this site. :head:

inaforty 05-08-2016 05:41 AM

Follow Destroyer's advise.
Use photobucket and use the IMG link to post.

Big D MacG 05-09-2016 10:50 AM

Finally figured out pictures. All aluminum. Tempered glass windows for front 3 and 2 side windows. Also it will have door in center. Sealed sliding hatch shut, could not get a good seal on it.

Striper80 05-09-2016 08:01 PM

Awesome

SkunkBoat 05-10-2016 04:40 PM

Franken-V!!!!!

:beer:

That'll keep you warm & dry. I guess up in Thunder Bay you don't need to worry aboot the heat

Kracker Jack 05-11-2016 06:29 PM

Yea this is gonna be a cool project here. I like people who think outside the box. Im still tempted to do a doghouse style enclosure around my t-top. Awesome work!

Big D MacG 05-12-2016 05:59 PM

Glass does not come untill may 24th. Work on door till then

inaforty 05-13-2016 03:31 AM

Big D,
MIG or TIG?

Big D MacG 05-13-2016 06:03 AM

Rivits and just a little MIG in the corners and I had to put some stiffness between the two side windows. 1/8 sides and front. 12 gauge for roof.

bgreene 05-15-2016 06:21 PM

Looks good, lot's of visibility and should provide dry ride for sure.

yodaddy 05-16-2016 09:48 AM

Nice work. Any idea how much it'll weigh when completed?

Big D MacG 05-16-2016 10:53 AM

My son and I picked it up and put it on the boat. Maybe 100 pounds but that's no glass yet. Glass 3 pounds per Sq foot

AWESOME! :clap::clap::clap:

Windshield wiper? Rain-x I know that is a small adjustment after completing a bullet proof enclosure. Nice work!

Big D MacG 05-31-2016 06:50 AM

Yes wipers to come. We all know that boat means
Bring Out Another Thousand

Blue_Runner 05-31-2016 09:10 AM

generator and A/C? LOL

Man that turned out great. Love it.

v20 05-31-2016 06:56 PM

Awesome man! You have so much room and the windows for your line of sight are top notch. Can't wait to hear how it handles. I bow to you! I can hear it now.
FISH OOOOOON!

Big D MacG 05-31-2016 07:21 PM

Thank you very much. It was a hell of a project. The boat needed a new canvas roof from scratch and it was about another k to make this top. My father and I probably have 25hrs into it and another 15 by myself.

bradford 06-01-2016 10:43 AM

Really looks nice! Pilot house conversions either look good or not, interested to hear how she performs/handles.

Striper80 06-01-2016 08:31 PM

Looks great.

The second one is the trick

1224bret 07-12-2016 05:48 AM

Awesome job on that! Very cool to see somthing different!

bradford 07-12-2016 09:54 AM

In your first video you didn't show the hose coming out of the jug and pumping oil all over the deck or you knocking the jug over while trying to get the still pumping hose back into the jug and it spilling it into the bilge.

I don't understand. :head::head::head::head::head:

Big D MacG 07-12-2016 10:29 AM

Thin hose into engine and the other hose into a 4 liter jug. I don't know what you mean. Didn't spill a drop

randlemanboater 07-14-2016 03:45 PM

I think Bradford is referring to how it usually goes for us amateurs, oil everywhere.

Nice work.
