Thanks guys for the nice comments. Scott M if you look real close in the second picture there is a corona on the work bench right next to the Dewalt flash light. Also there is a small garbage can that is not visable in any of the pics that has beer bottles in it as well [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Ed I got those saw horses at home depot $18.95 each.

That's freakin' cool

Nice top... Couple of questions... How are the legs going to attach to the top? How deep is the box? the pictures make it look kinda deep? Not to be a butt head, but being in the bussiness I'd have a hard time making that top work on a 23 Center Console. It would work great on a bigger walk a round type boat, I just feel its too big for a center console. Most 23's get a 5'x 7' top are you planning on putting an enclosure to the gunnels?

I am waiting for a quote for a new hardtop and enclosure for my '78 23' Sceptre - I'm sure will be exorbitant and not likely to come out nearly as well as yours. I am very impressed and very very jealous. Good luck and keep up the great work - can't wait to see this boat when you are done.

Chris,

Let me know what that quote is, if you don't mind. One day 'down the road' I wmight want a hard top too. Right now, I am in the throws of sanding and galssing and sanding and glassing and...

You get the idea. I tell you, re-doing a boat like this is a full time job !!! my mind is always thinking about different aspects of the project; from the exact type of electrical switches to use to re-fitting new tempered glass.

It is nuts!!! I mean, I am nuts !!!
