Yea, this is on my friend Hussein's boat... This is the t-top on his 27' Conch... He does have the 23' Seacraft that Conch reworked into their 25 Conch. It don't have a t-top and is still for sale.

I have the same console in my '83 20. It measures 39" wide at the base, not counting the flange at the bottom.

gotcha... thought that was the Seacraft because of the console.. and you are right ...to add a top like that you will have to BEEF up the sides of the console... I am thinking about something similar bnut mine will have to be tied into the back of my leaning post to support the wieght of the 50's and possible the short center rigger..
Can you get a shot of the front of the console ?? that looks like how i want my setup.. looks like2 7 " screens... and then a width at the console..
Never mind... i was looking at it better and can tell they are larger than 7's..

Thanks for the measurement. Ill have to compare that to the console that I have. Do you have the length of it??

Also, do you have any pictures of your console?? Or whole 20' Seacraft as well??

I've got a (single armstrong) bracket and a Yamaha f150 on my 1977 master angler. It rides beautifully. Also have an oversized 23 SC console. Both batteries are set as far forward as they can go in the console. Gas tank also moved forward a bit (50 gallon).

I think the f150 actually weighs more than the f200 by about 40#. The trick is to have and use your trim tabs, at least that works on my hull. Mine will go through just about anything in the high teens low 20s. But she's no speed demon. I sold a low 60s twins center console for a low 40s 20'. I miss the speed I won't lie. Curious to hear your numbers, I think there's somebody with that setup already (cayman boy maybe?, parker yacht on THT) and he loves it.

Saw your contender for sale on THT, it was a sexy boat, I can only imagine how nice this one is going to come out.

39" at the base console. Top was raised for flush mounting electronics. I'm with you all the way, there is no other way to mount them. Little snug on the sides, I can take a measurement if you want.

Edit- I was able to get out and drown some mullet for a few hours today. I put my size 11 flip flop (no tape measure) across inside of the gunnel to the rear support leg for t top, made it a little past the thong. I'd estimate about 10" of clearance. I go sideways to get around.

Sorry you guys.... I haven't gotten to post much progress on the boat as I have been putting new lap hardy siding on my house and doing some painting. I'm pretty much finished on all of that now, so I can focus on the boat.

Here are a few snap shots of what I got done this evening just messing around for an hour or so....

Removed the console and t-top to expose the fuel tank panel and removed it.... It was soaking wet..

Cut out the splash well and side storage box and bilge access..... Notice the full sheet of plywood sticking out the back of where I made my cut. I think someone has been into this boat once before.... Also, the box stringers appear to have already been raised 4" compared to others that have torn theirs down with box stringers in them.
