T Top

Any idea what a T top would cost for a 20'? I'm looking at several to buy but 1 needs a T.

I think that there can be a huge price swing here (from $700 or so for a do it yourself "k" t top to several thousand dollars). As an exmaple, here is a t top from Atlantic Towers for $1,390

Here is another example of a k top for under $1,000.

To a certain degree I believe that tee tops are like anything else, in that you get what you pay for.

Good luck

That is the most beautiful picture of a 20SF that I have seen. Hope you don't mind but I printed it and hung it in my office as inspiration. Hopefully mine will look like that someday, only with a folding t-top. By the way has anyone seen a good design for a folding t-top. I have a bridge to contend with on my way out.

Mark,
That's a great pic of your boat.

Bryan,
If I can get over to it in the next week or 2, I'll take some pix of my buddy's folding t-top on his 21' Hydra-Sport. It hinges and folds to the front of the console. Seems like a pretty good design, but it does rattle a bit when underway and you can't mount rod holders up top for that reason. I suppose the design could be modified to be more rigid, but he hasn't tried.

Ikan that is one pretty sight. Exactly what I'm looking for. Do you want to adopt me? Will cook, clean, polish the boat. Man......that's great!!
