custom: Thurston Sails in Bristol.

I'm sure Steve still does sunbrella tops.

I just sent the guy there I know an e-mail, I'll let you know if they're still doing canvas work for powerboats.

Thurston is now Thurston/Quantum and I don't know if he dropped doing dodger/bimini/t-top canvas alltogether.

thanks likwid,
to be clear.. they don't do custom t-tops... just canvas for them.?

not sure if they'll do frames.
i know they used to... but i think they're stickin to just canvas these days.

Ok, Steve Thurston is still doing canvas tops.

But they have a big backlog right now.
Easier to talk to them beginning of winter and get that stuff booked up right at the beginning of spring.

He could probably point you in the right direction for a sturdy frame.
Unless anyone else here has a good recc.

Mr.Hunters, boatersworld carries these
http://www.cesmithco.com/product/ttop.htm

also use the link on the side of the page,dealer in quincy listed. He has a ad in offshore magizine or the fisherman for a hundred dollars of installed top I belive.

Just was at Boatersworld in warwick RI. they have a T-top displayed in the store.

I think it was somewhere arond $1450. Top uses 7/8 tubing so not as heavy as 1 1/4 aluminum. This would make it so boat is not as top heavy with top on.

this site has all prices,do not know all the parts you need,http://www.boatersworld.com/product/169550019.htm
