Hardtop for 250
 

First post on this site..glad to have found it since I am a very new owner of an 87 250 Sportsman. I traded it for a 20' CC, had it on the water once and loved the smooth ride and power. I have a lot of questions about this boat as it is my first W/A and it has the OMC Seadrive on it which I have heard horrible things about but it we shall see! One of my questions is, where is a good place to shop for hardtops (bimini would be second choice) for this boat. I am still deployed but will be back in a couple weeks so would have to look online for now. Any input would be appreciated. Many more questions to follow.....

glad to see you found it. be paitent, you will get plenty of input on here. Look thru the gallery at the factory brocures. Not sure if anyone has a 250 in the gallery pics. Do a search for 250 and tops, its been covered some in the past

Thank you for your service and welcome to the site. :clap:

Spareparts! Thanks for telling me about this site! Good people there on CF.com. I have been trying to search but it is slow, It will be worth it though (I hope!). I plan on investing a lot of time and some money into this thing and keep it for a good while.
Dont have to thank me for my service sir (I appreciate it though), just remember thank God everyday for what we have

It took my Country almost 30 years to thank me for my Nam service.. :cen: No one that serves should have to wait that long, so I thank everyone as I meet them. I thank God nightly for all we have, and I stand ever vigilant to defend it. Just be careful and come home safely. :clap:

Glad to have you on the site. Get home safe. Don't know of a source for hard tops, but for bimini tops, you cannot beat the prices from gmitopdesign.com out of Canada. Someone here on the site got one and really liked it.

Well Destroyer thank you very much for your service, I will come home as soon as I can! I have had enough fun.
Nipper thanks for the site, Ill give it a look. I do prefer a hardtop but can also see myself going with a bimini if the hardtop doesnt work out for some reason.

when you get back in the Low Country, let me know and I'll introduce you to Mark Googer over at Carolina Custim Rigging

Welcome from another 250 owner. I almost bought a whole 'nother 250 just for the hardtop that it had on it. The boat was trashed but it had a really nice custom top on it but I had second thoughts since I tow mine all the time and it seemed like it would add a bunch of air drag.
