I have a five year old Sea Pro 17 ft. center console and want to install
a t-top. My main concern is the added weight and higher center of
gravity. The boat is mainly used in St. Johns River at Mayport, FL, and
occasionally a few miles offshore when the ocean is flat.

Any of you experts have comparable experiences and advice?


I had an 18' SeaPro CC when I lived in the Jax area, and had a shop out
on Atlantic almost next door to the ICW bridge do a nice tee-top for me.
The tee-top worked out just fine, but I missed the bimini top I had on a
previous small center console boat, because it simply did not provide
enough shade on those hot Jax days when you want more shade.

Who is the SeaPro dealer in that area these days? It used to be Mayport
Marine after the Orange Park Ranger & SeaPro dealership changed hands.

You must eat at Singleton's...one of the few restaurants down there I miss.

I used to live fishing right off the north jetty there. You could never
even guess what you might catch.
