So I have been using it for a few days. I suspect it isn't as awesome as a custom welded unit that braces against the side of the console, but everyone remarks on how rugged it looks, and it doesn't feel bad. The top itself is a bit small for a console this effin' huge, and I hit my head on it when I step into the boat over the master angler cap, but I am about 6'1". I should learn soon.

But honestly, I LOVE having a T-Top. Best improvement ever, It doubles my endurance on the water. I am so much more comfortable this way. I might slide the top sternward 4-6". And using rod holders up high means you need to be tall and/ or use a stool. But it's great. Plus I got 10 tries to get it fit just how I like. Which is a plus or a minus depending on how OCD you are. Probably a plus for me...

If a local guy can weld and anodize one for $1200, I say go for it. Otherwise, these aren't bad on a 20MA, and probably a lot better on a smaller console 20.

Edit2:

This took a knot off the cruise, and 1.5 kts off top speed. And the additional mass means I really need to think about a lighter splashwell gate and recoring th fuel tank hatch, if not redoing the transom.
