Hardtop

Macojoe/Bradford,
Lovin the look of your hard top Macojoe don't know if I can put that much into her right now. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place with this. Wife and two minnie meez need shade and I have no canvas left whatsoever. Don't want to waste money on getting canvas when I really want a hardtop.

Boy, I hope my kids are enjoying the way I am investing in their college tuition. I sure hope the value of these V20s keeps going up.

What did Charlie the Tuna do for a hard top?

CTT has a hard top like mine and I am sure its not cheap!! I believe his boat came with it?
If you don't see having the cash for a while and really need the shade, Then I would go with the regular Bimini top, It will get the job done and easy to get out the way if you need the space for casting.
You can get some pretty good deals on them if you don't go to wild, and get one off the rack. Not to hard to modify the mounting if need be.

Good Luck!

My bimini broke the straps when I was trailering in the rain and didn't want to get out to lower it. (Yeah I KNOW!) Long story short it blew right off and got run over by two cars and dragged by the third. I went back after the coast was clear and got it, pieced her back together. The stitching started coming out last year and got it restiched for $20. I almost hate to get a new one!

I just got an email a guy in RI has two used hardtops, "they came of the new stlye trophys 20-25ft's". Anyone here think this can be made to fit?? How wide/long would the enclosure have to be for our v20's?

Now I will say my prayer's, "please forgive me God for considering putting Bayliner parts on my Wellcraft."

I used the original top as a bimini up till last year. Kept spraying it with sealant, finally pooped the bed. Yeh I was thinking maybe just a bimini, probably about $400-500?

$385 with shipping, Sunbrella fabric, stainless hardware and 2 pairs of adjustable supports.
You can save $135 by having plastic hardware and no adjustable supports.

Don't worry, we wont give you a hard time about putting BAYLINER stuff on your V.

You will just have to get the measurements and see, they are probably going to be too narrow because of comming off of walkarounds, but you never know.

Charlie, that hard top looks great, as for you.....what was it that Mac said..! Yeah I would love to do that to mine if I knew I was keepin' it. My wife has actually been pushin' me to find something with more room...so you guys know where I am at just weighing everything out so i don't go bankrupt.l

Well if you need more room a 23 to 25 is were you are headed and even some of them have less!! I know I was looking at ton's of them before the Sea Ox.

Good Luck!!
