I put an Atlantic Towers hardtop over my cockpit. Love it, very well made, but pricey. When I got ready for the flybridge hardtop, I had retired and needed a more economical alternative to AT. I chose Hard to Top. It uses the bimini frame and polycarbonate panels for the top. I have keder strips on the bottom and am going to attach my new canvas to the keder. Both hardtops have advantages and disadvantages. The AT looks nicer and is more solid due to the large aluminum tubing frame. The hard to top is way more affordable and lets light through and also weighs less. Both are good in their own right, just depends on what you want. The AT hardtop also has keder strips so I can enclose the cockpit with canvas.

Both are good ideas , Also check around you may have local custom top builders in your area Check with canvas shops to see if the recommend anyone . You possibly can also build you own . I did one on my F30 and Molly 2 did one , I will try to find that thread later if you would like to see it .
