Enclosure looks great too.

Awesome Bennet
Are you going to tow with that enclosure up?

Anyway - figure it's got to be strong enough for a boat that could run up to 50mph ......so what's the difference between that and towing at the same speed. Not that my boat hits 50 mph, just saying as example. I towed watching it at 40, 50, 55, and 60 ........all stayed the same the whole way back. So, bottom line............with much colder conditions, I plan to tow with the top up. This way I can avoid trying to handle cold set up time and effort. You know how it is to zip and snap those panels in the cold. ( and dark ) How much longer I fish - not sure - it may actually be over soon.

Mine holds up good up to 45 - 50 but I'd be afraid to see 60 especially if it was gusty out. My problem is I have to REMEMBER to only run 45 - 50 on the way to the ramp. With thoughts of stripers and sugar plumbs dancing in my head it can be difficult.
Airslot - old member here that had his enclosure blow off going down the road right after it was made. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ight=enclosure

Back in 1999 when I 1st set up my '74 one of the 1st things I did was have a top w/4 sided enclosure made...wasn't a matter of adding winter to the season...we were fishing 12 months anyway...was a matter of makin' it more tolerable...the back enclosure contains the heat from the propane disc (about the same output as a Mr Heater)...w/out the back, there's no containment and you'll have to be about 6" from the heater to feel it...across the front, the center and both sides were made to roll up and strap up for open-air running when needed.
1 1/2 hrs down I-85 to the ramp...I never even considered leaving the top up for the 60-70 mph tow...I did stow all the snap on curtains inside the truck to keep them warm for easier attachment... BTW..that top is still intact today and is available for sale...cut specifically for a '74, I wouldn't recommend for 80s or later models as there were some changes...COULD be altered, but again, I wouldn't recommend it...   Can't believe these the only pics I have...l don't have it, but Rick said he was looking for a new home for it last we talked...

Do you know exactly when the changes were made? I have a 1980 and would be interested in the cover if it doesn't have to be modified. Thanks!

What a nice setup, I am impressed! Clean boat too.
BGreene can you provide some speed decrease numbers with the enclosure up versus down? Thinking about the pilot house conversion again...

I tow short distances with my enclosure up.....extremely careful not to go over 45mph. Couple times I've caught myself forgetting and getting up to 50+ mph. Luckily realized it before it was too late!
