20' Master Angler T Top or naked?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Really like the funcionality of the t top but worried that it will be to much on this boat. Due to the wide console, the passageway between the T Top legs and gunwales is very narrow. Also, if I use the T Top, should I remove the console grab bar? Any words of wisdom from the pros.

Man...an old Johnson 140 "cross fire"!! I've had two of those and ran them until they were on their death bed!! Good memories.

I'm a yea on the T-top, your call on the grab bar. I don't have a windshield. If I need to stop the rain I roll down a strata glass windshield I had made.

A yes on the t top
If you don't want it send it down south to me the sun is a killer here in South Florida

Thanks guys. Think I will be installing the T Top next weekend. If it doesn't work out, I'll send it to Jorge. We only get about three sunny days a year in PA.

really just depends on what you want to do with the boat.

i am NO on the T-Top - however, i have a 20 with no top and a 23 with a top so i have sort of the best of both worlds.

I use my 20 as a run around and do alot of saltwater flyfishing on it. Just a great all around boat with alot of capability.

I too like the no ttop look on a 20. I used to have a 23 with a dog house and it was nice to get out of the sun and WX. But on the 20 I like the wind in my hair and sun on my back

I had a 5x7 t top on my old 20 sf and while I loved the t-top in retrospect I might go with a smaller top on the 20 can't remember how many time myself And others hit it on the back cast. 4x6????????

aside from the nonstop sun here I like the firm handhold. being a stroke survivor I have some minor balance issues and when you need a grab fast the t top is nice. my window grap bar was gone when I bought the boat but I had a cobis and kept the bar when I added a t top good to have incase you decide to remove the top or the next owner

95% of my fishing is with a fly rod. Anyone that finds a t-top to be in the way needs to trade in their rods for a handline and a bucket of worms, they have no business with a rod that requires casting.

I do love Marks 20 with a ttop. Very clean and simple!
