Do you have some pictures of what your talking about? I like the idea of the top mounting to the console.

And the reason I want to make my own is because I have the time and materials to do so. I have about 4 gallons of polyester I need to use before it goes bad. Bought it this spring to finish up my bass boat, now that is done and I dont want to waste this resin. I also have a few yards of 1708, crap loads of csm, and a huge roll of woven roving. What I dont have is tons of money. Plus itd be cool to make my own.

My main question is regarding future T top. I would like to be able to buy an off the shelf or used T top because I'm making an assumption that it would be cheaper than a custom made one to fit my console. I dont want to make it too wide, long, etc and have to go to a custom top if I dont have to. Is there a certain size I should stay within? It seems like a lot of the tops I see fit so well around the console that they were made together. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldnt just buy a top and build my console to suit.
