Hayden,

would there be any pictures of one on an aft cockpit IP. I am currently looking at new canvas with frame and all, with a solar setup pretty close to what you have, but would be interested investigating a hardtop before finalizing.

Dave.
I have asked Mike the same question. I would ask that you call or email him as well.

When you compare these hardtops to custom canvas the cost is close. So for me, I am going with a hardtop from Mike when I upgrade.

If I can find any photos I will post here.

One of those boats is mine...485-49. Mike installed an arch, hardtop, solar panels, and wind generator. Terrific job in every aspect.

The boat now generates 40 amps an hour from the sun alone.

Dave, I had trouble with there email, I have a420 and looking for a hard top also
I just got back to boat and am going to call them

I also notice canvas creation has a hardtop much thinner, and some companies are using different materials because of weight,
