Wanna see my what Santa got me this year?

[SkunkBoat]

I have sat on my top to spy mahi when trolling past pot markers. I think you'll be good standing up there on the troll as long as its flat and there are no big wakes...
I have done cannon balls jumping off the top

Definitely put in some BIG zipper smiley windows on the side and I suggest a zipper windshield panel at the windshield door rather than a smiley.
My three sides stay on all the time and I don't have a rear enclosure.
When I bought the boat it had a bimini full enclosure. I couldn't stand it in the summer. The rear piece stayed like new in the dock box until the bimini was crap, then it all got thrown out.

The guy that built mine in 94 is still in business,he's on his 3rd wife, but that's another story. I still go by his shop with other little projects. He says he can't believe my top is still holding up . He says 7-10 years is average in Florida . I hardly ever take mine down, only when trailering out of town. I also store the boat under cover. I just put the curtains up and will leave them up until around Memorial Day . The top leaks through, so every year I spray a can of scotchguard on it to slow it down.

One day , hoping to join the hard top crew...

Hey Inaforty. Saw this on Cl and instantly though of you. Don't know if this is a good deal or not, as I know nothing about these machines, but thought you might be interested.

Destroyer,
That's not a bad deal. I new LS-1 is about $850 with case etc.
The Sailrite machine hold their value. I honestly think the ultrafeed machines will do just about anything you could ever want to do regarding marine projects. However the space under the arm gets really tight on bigger projects.

Kamikaze,
I hope you post more pictures when you get your V tricked out and finished.
