Any comments or suggestions on replacing a bimini-dodger with a fiberglass
hardtop? I am in the initial planning stages and looking for input.

Thanks

You may want to consider making it out of a light composite like foam,
glass, and resin. If you want more info go to rec.boat.builders and
post a question on the subject. You must however give a little more
info if you want real information. For instance, type of boat, size of
proposed hard top, removable/permanant, etc... The more info you give,
the more related answers you will get. I don't work with foam yet but
there are lot's of guys over there that do, I am sure you can hook up
with one of them.
