I got returned the Ranger home with the new T-Top skin.

This is not the final version - it's a prototype. My dealer is
getting into vacuum forming hard tops (he used to make them by hand)
and used my boat as an experiment in building the exterior skins for
things like flying bridges, Cobia style T-tops, etc.

It came out really nice for a prototype. In the Winter, he is
rebuilding a new skin with an electronics box as a thank you for the
patience as he fitted this onto the top. He's also going to be adding
running lights and a pair of out riggers.

WHOO HOO!!!

It's nice to know people - and have your nephew as the Service
Manager. :)

And I got a new gizmo - better than a transom saver.

Lucky you....... a local dealer quoted me almost $500 to install the
official 'sun protector' (bimini) on the Yukon.

Don, you can purchase a bimini on line for less than half that price
and install it yourself. The installation is not difficult although
requires 2-3 people.
