Default Re: Furuno Radar 1622

I used to be a welder (TiG MiG) and was thinking of a hardtop design that I could fabricate at a friends shop.

The hardest part is really the top itself. It has to have a camber in it to look right and shed water, and fiberglass of course looks the best. I have learned that I am not much of a fiberglass guy. ;D The other option would be to make the top out of sheet aluminum wrapped over a pipe frame.

I may just bail on the idea and make an arch - they are alot easier. In any event, I was looking at these ideas for a winter project - so if the radar is still around then let me know.
