Upgraded my bimini to to a hard top

Postby watertim51 » December 21st, 2016, 3:50 pm

What a difference hooray no more canvas on the aft portion. My new hardtop from Hard To Top was custom made for my 1988 model 3207. The cost is comparable to canvas but the big plus is that it is guaranteed for 10 years and will last 4-5 times longer than canvas. I installed it along with the help of my friend and completed it in about 6 hours.

The top consists of 8 mm polycarbonate and anodized aluminum (picture attached). I was able to attach it to my existing bimini frame and still use my side curtains. It is much cooler underneath than canvas. Let me know what you think.
