Hey first post here..
I've got a '14 Alumacraft Competitor 175 Tiller, and I am needing to put a top on it for my wife and baby. We've owned lots of boats, all without any type of top so I really have no knowledge of them, other than I reallly don't care for them on my boats. :lol: I'd just as soon go without, since I fish at night mostly, but she likes to fish during the day and wants to have a place for her and the baby to get out of the hot Virginia sun.
I'm looking for something removable, mountable to my track system, and it's gotta keep the sun off her. I would like to keep my fishing space in the rear of the boat clear of top obstacles, and I would also like to have a bit of the front deck open for her to fish from. I'm asking a lot, I know.
I've looked at dodgers and biminis, and like the dodgers a lot better. A bimini might work though...Does anyone run a tiller, or any other similar fishing boat with a bimini or dodger? Does anyone know of a custom top shop in NC or VA that does excellent work? Thanks
