Camper top confused in v20 land?.?.?.

The V20 CC had a Camper top option.
Mine needs new canvas, so thread peaked my interest.
But so far, none of these posts seem to relate to the V20 camper top that was available from Wellcraft, like I have.?.?

I'm seeing posts stating $1000, $2000, $400 is a steal.
Huh? To replace the canvas, replace entire thing with original camper top, or are posts about other non V20 specific "camper type" tops?
Confused...

Rob speaking for myself I thought you were refering to soft tops/enclosures that you buy aftermarket, don't know anything about a Wellcraft specific camper top for CC's.
Interesting though like to see a pick of one

Rob,

First, by camper top, we mean bimini top with full side, rear and front windows, complete with zippers to allow access in the rear as well as ventilation in the front and/or sides. Most of the time these are on the cuddy model.

There are a couple of different types of "drop curtain" setups that I've seen on center console boats (not V-20 though). One involves the rear, side and front curtains to be connected directly to the T-top and hanging straight down on all 4 sides, which allows you to walk around the enclosure..

The other involves also involves the T-top but rather than hanging straight down, they connect to the gunwhales on the sides. This type you cannot walk around and there has to be a zipper access in the front to access the bow. This setup also provides more space inside the enclosure than the other.

As for prices, I don't know about enclosures for CC models, but for the cuddy models, I suspect you couldn't buy one new for less than $1500. That is why we say that $400 or $500 is cheap.

Here's mine:

In the history section showing Wellcraft ads, they show the CC with the Bimini and Camper top raised. That is the stuff I have (the frames anyway, with rough canvas), the factory camper and bimini tops.

I now see that thread pertains to generic term of Camper top, and not Wellcraft Camper tops. Makes sense.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the spray dodger on the CC boats. I think CB had one.

check out the dudes in the80's with the handglider behind the boat.I think a little more rope would be a good idea.Its on robstv previous reply.
