I still want a top...yakkity yak
I've been talking about a radar arch since time began, at least for this site. *I've always balked at hardtops for a V-20 because I thought they were a little restrictive. *I've found the top that I want, at least this week. *Check this out...
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...ot/boattop.jpg Gives me a place to mount the radome and I can still fish around it relatively easy. *All things considered it even reasonably priced, sort of. Airslot |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Air, I'm not a big fan of hard tops on a V-20, but that one I like!! ;) 8) ...because it looks lighter-weight than most tops...go for it ;) 8) ...once ya get the top done, how long's it gonna be til ya want "Glass" curtains?...ya might wanna keep that in mind when you're talkin' w/ the top-maker...

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
RAP, the glass is a given. I need to make my little V fish bigger.

TIn, I've got that pic saved away already. It was the forerunner last week. It is a little more restricitve in the front with the forward supports. Lots of times I've got two in the stern while I fish standing in the cuddy so I can run the boat when needed. Works great for fishing around structure.

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
i thought i was gonna buy a v with a top on it. supposed to be a real nice boat too. still hoping to get her but, that glimmer of hope grows dimmer with every passing day.
so about how much does a top go for these days? |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
WoW! That top one is one of the nicest looking, if not the best, V20 I've ever seen....any more pics?
|
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Bottom one is nice too. Tinted glass looks....different.

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
lemme tell ya, a hardtop is where its at. gives more coverage than a bimini and you dont hafta replace it. yeah, gets in the way if yer fishin a few guys but i love it.

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
So Charlie...where the pics of this top you got... ;) ;) ;)
Hammer, sic em, we need pics.... Airslot |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
C_T_T; if you just copy and paste the IMG image tag, it'll put the pic in your post instead of the link. The link works too. But it's just easier to do the IMG tag.

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Damm, I was all ready to Bark for not posting at pics. :P
I love that top. Nice and tall. I wonder if she unbolts easy. ;D ;D ;D ;D |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Nice top CTT
Yep Air: You gotta get one of those. When did you say you were going to standard or were you going to call. Their only about 7 miles from me. |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Mrs. Airslot thinks that we type poorly and use bad grammar. I told her that our wives are rushing us and that we are doing the best we can to get our point across. I think she's been reading MJ's posts.
She actually typed "Have any of you ever caught a fish bigger than your ugly sticks?" I'm going easy on her because I think she's on board for a new hardtop. Airslot |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
HEY CHARLIE YOU GOT THE SIDE CURTAINS FOR THAT? PICS?
|
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Ooooooouuuuuch! Feel like MJ been 'hind me or sumpin. Got 2 quotes at about 4k w/ no curtains. Hmmmm, my bimini is lookin mighty fine 'bout now.
Seems like a lota coin for a boat that seems to sell for 5-8k. But, if ya wanna play you gots to pay, so they say. May have to negotiate a little more w/ Mrs. 'slot. Airslot |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
I THINK MY BUDDY PAID $5500 FOR HIS WITH CURTAINS ON HIS GRADY. NICE WORK, HE GOT HIS DONE AT ONE OF THE PLACES YOU BOYS ARE TALKING ABOUT, I WILL ASK HIM LATER.

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Air: you got to take out Ms Air a little latter this year so she can feel the cold night air. Tell her you want her to go with you more often. Then maybe you will hear something like "if you would get a top I would like going out more". ???
Dont mention the price and go ahead and get one. When she finds out the price and freaks out, Tell her I was only thinking of you honey. :-[ Didn't work for me but maybe you will have better luck!! |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
Turbo, thats the way I do it anyhow. Heck, she didn't know about the boat till I brought it home. ;) After a dozen roses and explaining that it was paid for and there were no 12 years of payments she saw the wisdom of my ways...she wanted a new Seahunt 202 and the payment book to go with it. >:(n
Just gotta figure out how bad I want it... Airslot |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
every buddy picking on me :'( I right just pine ;)
|
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
cy, yeah we got a full enclosure for her but we aint gonna need it seein as how we already pulled her for the (short) season.
the guy fishmaster63 bought the boat from just put it on a year before selling. top was custom made for the boat and full curtains cost him $4,875.00. fishmaster63 got the boat for $5,000.00 with trailer and i got it for $4,000.00 without. all in all, not a bad score. |

Thanks for rubbing it in Charlie >:( >:(

Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
wow that is a hell of a deal. was the motor rebuilt or is it original? My I\O needs rebuilt.
|
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
cy, not rebuilt but relatively low hours. just over a thousand. pretty low for a small block chevy. i figure if i get 300 to 800 more out of her than she owes me nothing.
when it goes i will probably go (you there maco ?) bracket. |
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
not another bracket guy? I can hear maco making a mess of his shorts when he reads this. ;D
|
Re: I still want a top...yakkity yak
naw, not really a bracket guy but i figure its alot easier than swapping out the i/o, and while im at it, i may as well rebuild the outdrive... alot more work than say, drop it over, glass it up, hang it and hang it.
still not sure, would like to get another 5 to 8 seasons out of her as is. |
