When you first get inside the cockpit, it's hard to describe what an upgrade it is from canvas isn't it?!?  And with the rear canvas dropping down from the top rather than the arch, you get so much more room inside.  Congratulations on getting your new hardtop!  You've got a solid boat that you can fish hard for a long time.  With those stout exterior supports, your hardtop isn't going anywhere!  Looks like you've got the shafts out. Straightening them? My struts have never looked that good.
