Looks Great, I like the bend in the top rather than just flat! CR

OK, John, I have been waiting to see more pics of your 200! Now I see why you've been holding out. Looks real good! Your first pic shows the aluminum tube that surrounded the console windshield laying on the ground. Does that mean the top mounts to the console or to the deck? If to the deck, that top looks like it sits right on the stringers. Care to share the mounting tips? Got to stop typing now, I'm drooling on the keyboard!

Thanks for all the kind words
Wayne's World - As far as the mounting goes, it mounts on the front of the console right below the windshield and above the cushion on the console. The rear legs are mounted to the ledge at the bottom of the console. The front legs are mounted to the deck right on front of the console beside the coffin box. It also has 2 mounts on the console right below the instrument cluster.
The reason the rear legs are mounted to the ledge at the bottom of the console is for deck space. I was able to keep my space walking around the console. Also, this enables you to run wire up to the electronics box from the 2 rear legs. He said that the console is very well made and is more than strong enough to support the top. The top is very well made and does not "sway" one bit.

That is a beautiful top. I agree, the color match is right on and looks fantastic.

The design on this top is a work of art! I like the use of the soft curves on the pipe blending with the straight lines of the top frame. It is VERY pleasing to the eye. Have you had it out yet? And who is the master that fabricated it? You said the console is strong enough to support the top, is that the original stock console?
Last item... what about that tub built into the deck forward the coffin?
That 200 is looking good! I especially like the bow shot photo, gives me goosebumps.

Wayne's World,
The t-top was made by Hammerhead Metal Works out of Bath, NC. He did a great job at a great price :)
The console is the original in my boat. He said that the thickness of the console on the bottom ledge, is more than enough to make the top strong.
As far as the tub in front of the console goes, I haven't had the time to tackle that yet. As soon as start that I will be sure to post some pictures. I still need to get the t-top wired for my electronics which I know will be fun
Thanks again for the nice comments

John,
You did a great job on the whole boat. Top is fantastic. You even matched the boat to the house.

Holy cow! that looks like it was meant to be on the boat from the beginning! if you dont mind me asking, how much did that run you up for? Amazing job, it looks very natural!

Thanks for the compliments
The top was $1950.00 installed which is much better than anywhere I could find. I am going back to him early next year so he can make me a custom leaning post with livewell
