Your boat is beautiful. Did you use the Lenco 15116-101? Any chance you have a picture? I'm also curious about how much reinforcement you did to your console. I am also considering attaching the T Top to console.

My experience having a 23 with bracket.... I rarely used the tabs but I was very happy to have them when I needed them. In a headset, or tight chop, or when loaded down. I would definitely recommend them
