NEW T TOP

Franco · #1 05-27-2006, 06:28 PM

Hey guys, I took the weekend off from fishing. Holidays bring out the drinkers on the river. So i took my new boat to St Lucie to have it measured for a new T TOP. It is 5'X7' with 4 gold anodized rod holders aft. And 2 more on the sides, Can troll rods from them instead of using outriggers. Also good for live baiting. It is going to have a bunch of brackets for antennaes, lights and such. Will be ready in 2 weeks. The builder thinks he can get the sunbrella material in fight lagy yellow to match the hull, if not it will be natural, kinda eggshell color. Also will have plastic pop tops that you can open to put the rod tips through when you use the console mounted rodholders. I'll have 20 rod holders on it with the T Top and 4 more when I order and install the leaning post. My wife said the boat wont float if I keep adding stuff to it!!!

Thanks Willy & Oz,
I cant wait. I have wanted a t top for a long time. Been getting so much sun the better half is calling be Juan!!! I told the guy thats making the top abiut the group here and if he can find a V20 to measure he will give us a price on making a top for cuddy cabins. Anyone near St Lucie???
Hey Oz, the McKee Crafts have an aluminum plate molded in the deck just for t top mounting _ I'm gonna help him install it, so we will drill and tap the plate for the top. I'm gonna bring the camera too. I need to take a lot of pics, Wanna show the trolling motor, electronics and of course the new t top

i would love to have a top on my '92 v20, prob cant afford it though. before top i should prob get some windshields,huh. ask around for me. if he can find me some glass at a good price i will certainly get a top from him.
