Please post pics.  Taking my 200 to Florida Boat Tops out of St. Petersburg in a few weeks for similar and curious how yours came out and if you would do anything different.

you should send a PM to Wingtime, a member on here. Bruce has made several tops and covers for members who have all been very happy with the quality and attention to detail. plus it's good to help support members/contributors!

I am really happy with the result, and am having the Amish guy add a screen window option to the backdrop curtain on the aft end of the dodger the same size as the forward access/window, which also had a zip-in screen, for insect-free ventilation. It drops forward and folds perfectly to stow around the contour of the bow inside of the bow rail, complete with zippered boot. It is high enough for me (6' tall) to sit upright inside and long enough to lay down and keep my feet inside. The zip-in aft curtain drops flush to the deck where it snaps taut to the inside walls and front of the seat/livewell on the forward end of the helm console to keep bugs/wx out. Here are pics.

Indeed

Thanks for saying so, Chris!

Thanks for your sign-off on it too, Rick. I'm lucky to have these rural craftsmen in my back yard. That said, I'd rather have an ocean there...or at least a "great" lake!

Wow they did a great job. Looks like one man bow with two sub bows. Comes further aft than usual. I like it..... hmm I wonder how one would look on the 170...

Looks great.  I see we share a similar taste in T Tops.
