I had to get a T-Top as I couldn't find a hard top for the Maritime skiff that allowed a 6'5' portly angler with boots on to stand up under it

Cool

HEY MJ have you done a search on used tops from boat junk yards ??
After all the carnage mother nature unleashed in parts of our country ,you might luck out , a little elbow grease and shipping cost some places ship to a busniess for ZIP and if so you can ship to where I work , it's worth a chance and there is 2&1/2 months till splash time?

Thanks Link I will do a search!!

After hours all the places I have looked on line so far only show a difference of $400 for soft to hard?
I was thinking of going that way and then I can buy a sheet of Starboard and make my own roof for like $150

I am so confused, Why is everything so hard and expensive??

O well to the show on Thursday, and going on a Charter out of Gloucester Next Monday, to kill the winter no fish blues.

Thanks guys!

Maco Joe,

Just came back from the boat show and there are numerous fabricators there with some of their work and all have portfolios. It might be worth you while to check them out.
