Summertime redo
 

Well heading into another summer in South Florida I needed a new top. The Bimini top on the boat was not usable when I went trolling. Wanting a quality top, I went to see Bobby at Birdsall Marine and had one built. Wow! Unreal! They also built a custom dive platform which the wife is very satisfied with, lol.

Prior to the top being installed, I had to clean up the dash. 40 years of bullshit made it look terrible. Had a new switch panel made and the original Richie compass refurbished which came out great. Added a new vhf, pop up bow cleat and light to clear the front deck.

Love my SeaCraft!

Looks great, Birdsall really does top notch work. I had a t-top made for a Mako several years ago (not Birdsall) and did the same thing as you - attach to the console instead of the floor. More foot room and no holes in the deck. Mine wasn't as pretty as yours though!
I would love to have 2 of the ladder/platforms for my Hydrasports, one on either side of my engine bracket. Your given me shopping ideas!

Thanks John. Highly recommend them. They designed the platform to angle a bit into the transom cutout for ease of access without effecting the motor. Fact of the matter is I am going to enclose the transom soon than later but the old platform/ladder was toast. Also with the original design, I could not lift the boat with davits.

Very nice top. Birdsall does nice work. They made a custom top and leaning post for my 20. You get what you pay for. Now I've got to give them a call about the platform/ladder. I really like yours...

Here a better pic for you guy.
