Default Re: '78 Sceptre 23 -- Complete Restoration

Carla Dee..Making a hard top that you can remove once a year for storage is not a problem. You need to make certain consessions, the biggest one is the there will be some exposed wiring(some not much) and it will take you about and hour to take it off(undoing the wiring is the biggest part). But They do look nice and hold up just like a fixed hard top.

Chris.. no problem.. just bring their swimmies. I don't have the life jackets for the lil'ones yet.. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Otto... do you still have the old canvas?.. if so send it to me and i'll get one made and send it back to you if you want.. The only problem with Starboard is that it doesn't bend two ways at once, and when it does it makes a big bubble. Check your top for compound crown. Use a long straight egde, one that will go the whole lenght of the top. If it touches on the front and the back along with the middle bows your ok and it will work fine. If not it will still work but you may not be happy with the way that it looks.

If you go with the canvas. I can tell you how to lace it back on
