Re: Fiberglass hard top

Jimmy,

You can use my hard top as a templet if you want. It is at Holiday Harbor(Forked river Diesel). It will save you a ton of time and money.

If interested let me know. I or John Lane can show where it is. It is plenty big enough 10.5x11.5'

Hi John,

Are you getting the while exterior or rubrial to water line?

I am doing a 35 bert. Right now. I only do roll and tip. Is 16k for the up to the rubrail. The whole thing is going to be around 26k. It also depends on how much filling and fairing. This boat is a 1970 so there was a good amount.
