Stryker T-top on 20sf?
I've been thinking about a cheaper cost well made Universal T-top for the spring and someone has some pics of one on a 20sf( Blue 20sf on thehulltruth) and it looks pretty darn good to me. Normally I hate Euro swoopy styling about as much as a SeaRay or a pumpkinseed jetboat, but the thing looks pretty well made and well designed and it's only a $1000. The Seacraft seems to pull it off well if you get it in the right spot. I figure if I don't like the hinge or whatever I can use the tig to make a few small changes. What do you guys think of this thing? I'm like 60/40 for the thing.

You could try pipe dreams. Don is local to you and a member. Not a universal top but he does nice work.

I know Blue....and have been on his boat hat top he has is really a nice top. The guy that builds it quoted me 950.00 and then 50 or 100 more for rod holders. He uses the pipe for ro holders,but it you bring him rod holder that you want he will weld on whatever you want! I would give him a call!

Hey this Tx Coastal,
I was a sole bidder, then they lowered price to 999 75 to ship. I checked and its back to 999 again . IMO its the best one for the price. You get 7 Mounting spots and it is really solid even with one stand off on each side. I can't complain. I looked at others, but they were more $$ and didn't have all the mounting plates and look i was after. Here's what it look like in water. I do like the way the forward Vertical is several inches in front of console. It gives a nice hand hold to passengers up front. I installed a bag for PDF's and throws. 35.00 at Dicks for the large one. Launchers were from Fishmaster 35 a piece. |

Re: Stryker T-top on 20sf?
I don't mind the look it's growing on me for sure. You've got it in a nice spot fore and aft. The only thing I know I would change is the height. As with most smaller boats' t-tops look way to tall in a boat with low gunwales. Its really a preference thing but I think if I were to cut the legs 4" to 6" at the bases it would give me what I'm looking for 78" to 76" behind the wheel, I'm 5'11". Stryker said they cant change the height, it's not a big deal for me to, I just don't feel like it. I might just make my own top, my buddies' job has a hydraulic mandrel bender and the welding isn't a problem. I dunno I'm torn.
