Comes down to the floor about two feet wide in center...on each side it's cut out from floor, up about 18" where it snapped on to tops of seat-boxes..those cut-outs could be easily filled in by a top-shop, or if you're handy, you can do it...that's a good price he's asking for it compared to what I paid for it new...WHEW!!...

Thanks for helping out Ozzie! I appreciate it! Sorry I didn't see this until now!

Yes, it is still for sale, I was just about to uncover the boat to start my spring prep, looked beautiful outside, sunny, mid 50's.....got all my stuff together to go out and its raining. I can't win!

I bought a factory enclosure that came off Franco's '83 V20 and it snapped right up to my 1975. Reversing that logic, I'd say a top coming from a mid 70's model would snap right up to a mid-eighties even if there are subtle differences such as higher floor due to self bailing............

Using it on my mid-90's V21 now. Had to add snaps to the side windows to accomodate the curved window frames on the V21 but that's about it besides some snaps on the gunnels.

After looking at Ozzie's pictures and ignoring all the canvas guys telling me that it won't fit I just played with her for a little bit. I got it to within an inch or so of snapping! WOOHOO! Going to close the ad until I can figure out if I can adjust it down a little more, where there's a will there's a way!

Can you cut off the bottom of the main bow to get it down...or lower the mounts where they attach to the inside liner?...make sure before though, yer not giving up any needed headroom...I don't wanna be duckin' around when I come up to drink...I mean fish w/ya!!!...LOL!!

Keep in mind in cold weather it will fit tighter. Factor in 70 + degrees and you just might be able to snap it.

When we striper fishing in the winter we stow the enclosure in the warm truck so we wouldn't have so much trouble getting the it on.

I think I can cut some off but before that I want to disconnect the mount and see if I can put it lower first, or at least dry fit it. Its weird, you would have thought the prior owner would have taken better care in mounting it...LOL.

I will make sure there's no ducking, at least for me. You are still a little taller then I am if memory serves...we will just cut a hole in the top for ya! You really going to come up??? Try some of my northern bbq? Would be happy to have ya!
