AFAIK, I am the only one here with a hardtop F-32. They have similar lines, so perhaps this will give you an idea. I'm with you as I would prefer the hardtop. I have know idea if the hardtop is the same piece as used for the decking of a flybridge.

There are some pics in a recent post of another F-32 with a partial removal for transport.

If my memory serves me correctly, I think Midnight is an F-36.

The Midnight is a beauty! The one from NY certainly has potential depending upon whats under the hood.... Low dollar, Hi elbow.

Removing the flybrige would reduce buyers when you go to sell it

Do an intro post and get some pictures posted! I would have really liked to get into a 36 instead o the 32; I didn't even know there was one available in the Chicago area. I'm up at Waukegan, so if you ever get up this way, drop a line.

I agree with Prowlerfish about reducing buyers/value. I wasnt sure about the flybridge till I got a 26 Silverton with a bridge, now I absolutly love being up there and not hearing the motors and just enjoying the view. Ive removed a F32 Bridge but only for transport/floor repair, definatly save it anyway

Bill,

Midnight is a Kinn's boat, no sure if she is down your way for the spring fishing or not. I see her almost every week in the summer. ( Algoma ) I know Mark who runs Obession IV ( talk about a sweet ride!! ) fishes down by you for Apr - Jun
