T-top or not to T-top...

[Mark]

I think there are good reasons for going either route and the proponents of each will surely post below.

A t-top cuts down on fuel mileage when towing, raises storage fees at dry-stack facilities, gets in the way of casting a fly rod, provides a venue for birds to evacuate their bowels upon, and the list goes on and on.

As for myself, the dermatologists' scalpel is all the encouragement I need to add a t-top to every future boat that I own....and I'm at the ripe old age of 37. My time in the sun over the years is already posing problems.

I simply don't like needles and knives much [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Hey Otto

Me personally ..T-Top....Shop around ...remember all T-tops are not created equal...

Your situation is tough .... but I like and need the cover .... Protection (esp. if you do an enclosure) from sun and rain....wind with the enclosure, antenna mounts, radar, rocket launcher for rods....plus with a well built top I like how they look....

Mooring cover …. There’s a guy down in MD that will make one for you …. Secures it in a snap [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (talk to Brian [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] )

Robin has been on the boat sans top ... T-top that is [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] .... and did not care for it .... got to love when the "first mate" supports spending on the boat !!!

Otto,

Call Don and let him do this for you:



Imagine how good it will look when complete!!!

I looked at the Atlantic Towers tops a few years ago. IMHO, you are correct, they are poorly designed and built. That has been the opinion of several owners I have talked to that have also experienced problems.

Brian,

It looks like Don is off to good start on your top. Did I understand he's putting a hard top on it?

I acknowledge your theory. Having been there and done that, it's only fun when money is good. I'm considering adopting the YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD IT LATER THEORY.
