Default Re: Hardtop to fit V-20 wellcraft, others, no rese

FM, the nice thing about your indecision is you get to try the hardtop out first since its already installed ;)

Then if you don't like it, just take it off and sell it. ;D

But, if you don't mind me asking, what's not to like?

For me personally, I boat alot on a local lake that has low bridge clearance, so a folding radar arch would be purrrrrfect for me, while a hardtop would limit my flexibility.

Right now, the lake is down 5 feet and I can scoot right up under the two low lying bridges with ease, even with my bimini and enclosure up!

But, if it weren't for the low bridges, I'd be a hardtop man for sure!

I hear ya on that boat. Keep us posted on your new baby once you get her!

blue,

a couple things i dont like.

1. you cant open the center window and ride like that... frame in the way. i love runnin with that window open on a hot summer day.

2. may be my imagination but the dam thing looks top heavy... pitch and roll.

3. we do have one kinda low (LIRR) trestle that i dont think i will make at high water.

4. not a helluva lot of coverage... driftin for fluke in the aft cockpit.

5. just think the concept of a hardtop is for a 26 foot express sportfisherman.

may love it when i check it out but the curtains are probably a real pain in the *** too... cleaning, storage, etc...

Fishmaster,

I think no.'s 1-3 are really good concerns. But I tell you what, that top will be sweet, and looks awesome. You just can't beat the rod storage on a hard top, up out of the way. Fixed lighting for a small dome light and an aft spreader light.

Top heavy maybe??

I don't go under any low bridges

I Fluke all the time!! This will be no more in the way the the Bimi to I have now, and thats not in the way at all!

The only problem would be the windshelid. But I bet I can figure a way to mod. it to work ;D

Bring it on baby!! I WANT IT BAD!!
