Console, T-top, deck and more...
I have been pretty busy lately. I built a t-top for my boat a couple of years ago and it broke a little bit back. Completely my fault as I tried to tow my buddies 15' Bass Tracker with a rope tied off to the top. It was one of those "F" it moments where a bit of alcohol is involved and you can imagine how the rest of the story goes.
I was not very happy with the original design anyways, it lacked some curves and the top was a bit too big for my taste. I decided to mount the new top to the console instead of the deck to save valuable foot room in my 18 footer. Since I was removing the console I decided to tackle a few more projects like modifying my console to flush mount my electronics, adding a splash-well and fixing a soft spot in the deck. Pics of original top and new design. The new top will be painted white like the original.

I still have another coat of paint to apply to the console. I am also making an electronics box for my new radio and the VHF.
I still have a lot to do so there will be more pics to come.

Thanks guys.
Ridge, I bent the tubing in a very shade tree fashion. I had a top to a trellis that was left over from a job (cut the wrong size). I clamped the tubing to one end and bent it around the curve. I carefully marked each tube at the bending points and they came out identical. I should get the last coat of paint on the console today and maybe some sanding done on the electronics box. Pic of the trellis I built a while back as an example.
