Default Hard Top V20

I saw this at a dealer in N. Attleboro, MA. last year or 2009?
Thought you guys might like it. Not the best pictures. Kind of funky looking! Maybe not in a good way either....

I'd still take it....but I think it's a little too high and messes up the proportions...theres got to b 7' at least under that thing.

For me, a hardtop is overkill for a 20' boat...a fold-down w/a full enclosure offers more flexibility and LOT less weight...JMHO...

I humbley disagree. Love my hard top. Canvas top didn't hold up. Rod holders are great and out of the way. Never noticed any change due to weight.
I agree that one shown above looks a little "Off". They went too high and to far out front in order to accomodate the electronics box.

Skunk, I agree re the elec-box seems out of place...yours seems better suited to the V20...I have to go under too many low bridges to access good fishing spots to deal w/a permanently fixed hard top...

How 'bout some more pics of your boat...NICE!!...

Ya, I like the hard on Skunk's boat. It's just the one in the picture is out of proportion. I would love to have a hardtop on mine, I run the bimini almost 100% of the time anyway and a good place to put more rod holders is always good, plus there is always the radar thing.
