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 thebiminitop 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. I'm thinking I might use the same shop for the T-top work. It's about 2 miles from my house. Singleton's WAS a great place to eat. Last time we were there, the flies and the heightened prices caused me to change my opinion of the place. Fishing off the north and south jetties is always "like a box of chocolates, you never know...." I havea T-top on my 20 foot Ranger and wouldn't trade it. Bimini's are fine, but if you are serious about fishing, a T-top is the way to go. Plus you can eek out some extra storage under the T-top for PFD's, ditch kit and the like. Here's a picture. http://www.swsports.org/images/Ranger.JPG The only consideration I would suggest is that you stay away from the cheapie T-topsyou see around, on Bass Pro and on the Web - they are basically made out of Schedule 40 tubing, only a little better grade metal - they aren't very sturdy at all. With respect to vertical movement and changing the COG, forget about it- ain't gonna change it enough for you to notice.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
