Nice boat!!!!!

But that teak would not last 5 min on my boat!! I would have it all banged up, and kicked !!

I will leave the pretty boats to you guys, I will trash mine with fish! ;D

Nice pics Tin, way to hook a brother up ;)

Phes that's some really nice work you did there. Hey on your enclosure, do you have problems with the snaps on the side windows? Really only the ones in the rear on the bottom. In the pic it looks like the last one is unsnapped and I was wondering if you have a problem keeping that one snapped? The reason I ask is because I do. Its not really a big problem at all but just bugs the crap outta me. Also, I am unable to take out the back curtain. The side windows want to flap and really come unsnapped then! I thought about some different type of fasteners at one time but have yet to do anything.

Nice boat!!

Hey, BR...maybe a good top-shop can take it off, add some zippers...amazin' what they can do sometimes

Re: phester's ride.
 

BR, the enclosure was off another "V" and the original snaps did not line up that well with his boat. He had a canvas guy add some new snaps and many of the old ones are not being used (you can see in the last pic).

He does have a bit of an issue getting the enclosure installed (tight fit), but tight is good, right? ;)

I'm sure he'll fill you in on more when he sees this thread.

Yeah it's good for boat tops ...and something else in my distant past, however I can't recall what it was just now...where'd I put that flyswatter?? ...




...and tops from other "Vs" ??? ...now where have we heard that story B4??... ;D ;D ;D ...
