Second Chance, Thought about doing it yourself? Check out this website http://www.sportfishingflorida.net/greg ... roject.htm The board that is used is available at home supply stores. It has a lite fiberglass coating from the factory. Use some 1200 biax fabric, epoxy and paint. Good luck.

There's a new place in Sopchoppy that does custom SS, I don't even know their name yet, but I bet Scooter at Avery Marine knows them :D

Got my boat back with the hard top inatalled :D Scooter over at Avery took care of all the electronics and antennas. Joe over at Pro Welding & Fabrication in Sopchoppy built and installed the top. Thanks for the advise Wevans :thumbup: I would highly recommend both of these guys. The work was first class and the pricing reasonable. Now I just need to get back down and put her in the water 8)
