Please help guys

Post by Rickysa »

"Goober" was kind enough to pass along an 8X8 fiberglass hardtop to me in hopes I can make it work on the 74 FBC I'm bringing home in a couple of weeks.

Can anyone with a hardtop on a FBC give me a general size description on what you have had made...I'm just looking for guidelines to plan on resizing.

I've done a good bit of FB work one my first 31...I just need to decide if I want to start from new, or take the time to refurbish.

i purchased a half tower from a member here, but it had a canvas top. imo canvas is a pia.
i went ahead and formed/glassed a top that was about 2" wider than the railing the canvas tied to.
overall, it was just under 9 feet long, and just under 6 feet wide.
hope this helps...

Ricky
Message me your email or post if you like. I will send you pictures of mine. I can't get dimensions as I am not close, hence my silence. But you can see pictures and maybe thats better than nothing?

Will do Dug, that would be great...I've looked at several on the site here, and I've got specs on the 31 in general...so that would be a great help.

FYI,

I have some computer models I made of the Hardtop on the Lightningshack. I'd be happy to get you any dimensions you need from these models.
