Fishmaster T-Top

[Jonkayak]

I have been watching what people on here thought about the Fishmaster T-tops for a while now. I have liked the pics but was on the fence since I had not seen one in person. So on Sunday day while on Lake Lanier I went by a Teal colored Trophy that had one on it and it actually looked real nice. So On Monday I called Fishmaster and I spoke with Greg (I think thats his name) and he told me to come on over. So a few hours later Greg was showing me around the warehouse and one of the tops. Greg seems to be a real nice guy and really set me up and left me with a good impression overall. Well I finally toke one with black canvass home with me. It toke me about 4 hours to put it together and mount it and that is with me doing everything buy myself and taking a few beverage breaks. Since I did the install buy myself I put the top together and placed in on the bow of the boat then mounted the upright to the top frame so I wouldn't have to try and lift it into the boat buy myself. Once mounted I added the Drink Holder and Storage bags. Easiest cup holder to install on the market. Now I just need to go and get a T-top bag, and back to Fishmaster for some rod holders, and nav light. Over all it is a really nice top and built better then I had expected for the price. Also it still fits in the garage.

P.S. Greg my neighbor/fishing buddy really like the calendars and said it was about time I got some drink holders on that boat.

Great job on the install! Greg at Fishmaster is a top notch customer service rep. If other businesses would treat their customers as Greg treats his.....

I love my fishmaster t-top.

Keep your allen wrenches handy to tighten up everything after the first couple of uses. I found that the clamps that hold the top to the supports need to be tightened more than others.

Bill I will keep them handy. I just picked up some rod holders and antenna mount and will hopefully get it all mounted in the next few days and I will post some more picks.

With all the good reports, I can possibly see one of these in my future. The only reason I don't have a T-top is that one will not fit under my boathouse.....the folding feature of these tops gets rid of that problem alltogether.

Thanks for the report and pics....

Chum,

Here is a pic of mine under the carport. Maybe my mind will change but intial thoughts are very positive.

Thanks OBX,

As long as it fold to just above the windshield it will be low enough for me to hoist for those extreme high tides. From your pics it looks like it won't be an issue.

If you have no wire for lights or anything like that mounted to the top then it takes all of 5 mins to remove the whole top half and lay it flat on the bow.
