Capt. Chuck, we plan to add a hard top but not until after this summer. I want to get some time in the boat to figure out exactly how we want it before we install one. I'm thinking about limiting my boating to daylight hours this season and relying on a battery operated unit on board for potential emergencies until then.

Jim, if you could send pics of your windshield, both installed and removed I think it'd be really helpful. I'd appreciate it. I'd also love pictures of how the hatch down in to the cockpit/stairs up through the walkthrough windshield works if it's not too much trouble. If I can, I'm going to try and get some pictures of how mine is today if I can get them to come out under the tarp. Thanks again for all the advice every one...keep it coming.
