It's an easy install. They have great directions and a video that come with the tops. The one I installed on a Whaler Outrage...if memory serves we marked where the mounting flanges should go, 5200'd them to the deck, then drilled the holes and installed screws in Epoxy. That gives you a watertight conection to the deck. Then the tower legs go into the flanges and the rest is e-z-p-z

Thank Air, The Whalers have about the same style deck (solid/foam Cored) and I am pretty dure that is the root I am goingto go. My deck is pretty close to two inches thick (gellcoat/fiberglass/wood) So I should be all set.
 If it pullls loose, I can always go back and threw bolt it to the deck.. Hopefully some more pictures to come next week Now all I need is that leaning Post before the wife catches on

You'll be fine. Keep in mind that it attached at all four legs, each side of the console, plus the cross braces onto the console. The only way it will come loose is if the entire console goes with it.

Top came in last Wed and I put het together today and stuck her on deck for a dry fit. I had a couple of the Mobile Marine type guys take a look and give me a quote to do the through deck work, 400 to 700 beans for the job
 I'll pass, I figured 2 hours work max for some one who knows what they are doing. I think I'm just going to go for it and hope for the best.A few pics of the dry fit:

You and MJ are the snizzle.
I've only looked at one custom job before, but talked to a couple of people about added t-tops.
Their unknowing problem finding out later was a weak floor and/or extra needed support. It seems that also connecting to the console helped to reduce fatigue and prolonge the tops effective lifespan. I don't have any experience in this, only hearsay. The one custom top I looked at simply had a flat piece welded to the tops uprights and was bolted to the console. Very nice looking, Sean. Very nice!
