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.
It definitely feels like a much bigger boat with that hard top. I can't imagine why canvas is even an option from Tiara on the larger boats? Tim Bausch the hard top fabricator has served sports fishing boats out of Stuart his entire life and wanted those stout exterior supports so I could run to West End in 6 to 8.
Waiting on a new Garmin Fantom 124 radar and when she is fully dressed out again will send a pic.
ACY is a top yard and I get compliments constantly on the Tiara quality and build from folks.
Great great boats and worth upgrading.

I forgot to add that my shafts were out more than 2 thou one spot 10 thou so the yard has them in the machine shop with props.
Barnacle buster will go on running gear.
