Plastic T-Top

Post by kiltsup »

Any ideas or input for getting a permanent plastic T-Top rather than the cloth fabric bimini top I currently have? Anyone else done this type of project; replacing the fabric bimini with a permanent plastic T-Top?
Cheers,

Several examples here... I'll let the owners show their photos.

How much do you want to spend?
Least expensive is to use the existing SS framing but you get the least rigidity.
Do you want to mount stuff to it? Radar, lights etc:

I did a search for "DIY boat Hard Top" and this caught my eye. I don't know how good of a product it is and have never seen one in person but this might be something to look in to.

Thanks for the replies! I am open to cost. I did contact the team at http://www.hardtop.com for more information and details and thanks for the lead.

Yes I do want to mount on the top such as the horns, light, etc.
