To put a t-top on your boat or not is entirely a matter of personal preference. Some people like them, some decidedly do not.

Here's what a 3x5' top looks like on my 1971 SeaCraft 20'. The console is 28" wide and there are three Birdsall grommets on each side of the t-top for rods to go through:

Being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer was a powerful incentive to choose the personal preference of having a t-top to stay out of the sun. I'm confident melanoma and the treatment is far more painful than the cost of a custom top.

I agree with four boat theory. After spending twenty-some- odd years fishing out of our 1978 20 seacraft with no t-top, it is a real treat to stay out of the (Florida) sun for much of the day under my birdsall t-top on my 23. At the end of the day, I have a lot more energy due to the shade afforded by a t-top. I would not own an openfisherman without one.

I have no experience with Sunbrella but does it offer "SPF" protection or are you still exposed to the suns rays. I am getting ready to purchase a bimine for a Sceptre and have been told to stay away from Sunbrella and go with a tradional vinyl top. Any recommendations?
