the guys around here are way to cheap to spend that kind of cash on a tower like that. There are a few guys with hard tops, but none that I've seen of that particular manufacturer......Bet it would be nice though

For that kind of dough you can have a custom tower built to the exact specs of your boat. Or you could buy me a new truck.

Well I have one of there hard tops, and CB and I had it no pretty easy! I am very happy with it!!

I paided right at the $3000 price at last years boat show, that was for the light tabs, box brackets, 5 welded rod holders and 2 clamp on adjustable rod holders, plus the shipping to my door.
Came with all hardware and they were very good with my phone questions!! i Have forgot what the warr. is I think 5 years on the welds?
a large pipe cutter from home depo is the perfect cutting tool! worked awesome.

Custom around my house was $5000+

I like how it says, "the height is adjustable by trimming the legs before installing base fittings." I'd really love to see how they raise it LOL.

I like that top but it is very expensive. The majority of people that own +/- 20 yr old boats own them because they're a lot cheaper than a new one.

The thing about a new boat is they have problems too. I chose to have my problems minus a monthly payment, which feels alot better IMO!

I called Island Towers and spoke with one of their sales/tech guys. Very knowledgable, I must say! I was considering getting one for my V20, but also put off by the cost. I may just build my own as well... wish there were some plans drawn up in cad or something for us DIY'ers... *cough* *cough*

A top is what I's thinkin' to since no windshield...Google search boat tops and find plans you like...I'd keep it as LIGHT as possible w/a fabric top...
