Let be one of the first to say, Welcome Aboard, Captain.

Each of our boats is owned by an individual and thus subject to the wishes of that owner. Many of the members here are clustered together and, as such, frequently use configurations and set-ups that have proven particularly appropriate for their individual area and general purpose of use. eg. Here in the northeast you will find that most of the owners have substantial if not total enclosures of canvas/fiberglass or some combination. Down south they frequently go with just a T-top and not much else.

Since there are very few Seacraft in your area to copy or plagerise (so to speak) you have a pretty blank canvas, though I bet it will be set up very similar to other boats in your area.

We get to sit back and learn how it is done in other regions that we have not heard much about in the past. Quality work and attention to detail are the marks of quality, not identical results for ALL purposes.

Do your own thing, just do it the best you can. We will all learn something new!
