New here...Just getting familiar with the layout of the forum. Was wondering if anyone can advise on the possibility of having a factory/aftermarket hardtop shipped. I have a soft top currently but would like a hardtop. Saw an older post for a 36' and it looks great!...looking for the same look as the 36 or 3500open with a factory hardtop.
I searched some of the older threads and the web but have come up fruitless.

I am going to be looking into this as well. It is almost time for new canvas and I really do want want to spend all of that cash on canvas I will not be able to use if I am going to go to the hard top. I know of someone in my area that ordered one mid-summer. I am going to track him down to find out if it has been installed.

Checkout this guys site. I am going to look into this. Seems like a good alternative and straight forward install. And much lighter. [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

Visited Atlantic Towers this morning. They certainly run a good operation and have been doing this for a long time. From what I was able to see all quality products and through conversation they really know how to fit the tops on to a Tiara Arch. Which is what I wanted. I learned of one they shipped to my area about a month ago and I happen to know the person. His boat is stored in doors so I am going to check it out this weekend. So far I am definitely leaning in this direction. Less than half the cost of the factory top, light weight, easy to install my self, not a lot of additional support structure required.
