Bruce, you know what we used to do?  Install a starboard cutting board on the transom top to cover the whole! :shock:  :shock:


You know I was thinking of that.  I have seen a removable type cutting board mounted there.

She is a Wilmington North Carolina boat... so if not a factory top there remains only one sourcing solution for the top, given the production period:

And if in fact it is a Gore Brothers top?

Better than factory.

The top on my boat is exactly the same as the green 99 TM I looked at in Tampa.  I know that was a FL boat.  I did some polishing of the top frame and rod holders today.  It's cleaning up really nice.
