Hardtop

Post by h2ojetga »

Hello all Is there anyone reasonably close to Ft Pierce, FL that owns a convertible with a hardtop that wouldn't mind me taking a look at and getting some measurements? Also, if anyone has knowledge of a hardtop/frame that's available I'd be interested. Even it had to be modified. Thanks for the help.

I checked into one here in Virginia, The guy wants 5,000 for the metal work, another 5,000 for the hardtop and of course I would need to have the glass done, I am guessing up wards of 15,000 ouch!

Try this place . They were very helpful when I was looking for a hard top. They are in Fort Pierce. http://www.themarineconnection.net/Towers.html I built my own hardtop and then had the pipe work replaced to match the top.

$15K doesn't seem to be too far off. I paid $11K'ish back in 2005 for my hard top and 3 sided enclosure. Aside from my diesels, it's been the best money I've spent on the boat.

I have, at the very least, made their payroll over the last month! LOL. They've priced a frame for me at $2K. What are the dimensions of the hard top you fabricated?

David, Did they have a hard top that fit your boat?
