T top

[Fillet1]

I have been looking at one of these:

http://www.fishmaster.com/

It (with some curtains) would keep me warm and dry in the cool spring and fall.


It folds down so it will fit under my standard cover. But it can be trailered in the upright position. There is a skiff pic on the site as well.

My only concern woulld be whether the internal antenna on the GPS would still work with the top above.

There are one or two guys on the MSN site that have them. They seem to like them. Go over there and check them out. I'm sure they will give you good feedback. I have a fixed t-top on mine and love it.

Fillet1,

I know this is an old post but I'm gonna comment anyway.

I'm not sure if you bought a fishmaster T-Top, but I have one on my Sea Pro and it works well. The biggest difference between this top and a custom rigid top is that you can't hang from this one like you can others. It's sturdy enough, but not sturdy enough to hang from (Example Smith T-Top). Now with that being said, I don't know of anyone who buys a T-Top for the purpose doing pull-ups. If you would like specific information about the top or specific (close-up) pictures of my top, just let me know.

Thanks Will, i'd like to see pics. I didnt buy any top, and now that I am casting flies from the skiff, I might not ever get one.

Do you trailer the boat with the top up or down?

I trailer with the top up. You can actually remove the top half of the top. I'll get ya some pics.

T-Top Joints - As you can see, you could easily remove the top portion of the top and have pleanty of room for casting - Then re-install it when you want shade for trolling.

not sure if my first post worked or not, but anyway, I got one from them (fishmasters) I was a little worried about getting online, but everything was just as they stated on the website, I love mine so far, no problems and is it very stable, love the fact you can fold down or even take off. Didn't take but a couple of hours to get install with some help. I have a fish finder/gps mounted to console, and attena for VHF on the console and both seem to work fine with t-top over them, I know the VHF may would work better mounted on top to the t-top, but got the top after and have not re-ran wire, not sure that I am as I do fold my down a bit, and would think it would but some ware and tear on the wire in the joint.
