Thinking of adding a hard top over the cockpit of my 390 Sport Fish and thinking of making it myself. I have a friend that has experience with fiberglass and gel coat. Any suggestions would be helpful.


Thanks

This guy has done some serious mods and appear to come out well! Look into this link for the video and try searching his previous posts.

This is an interesting project..........the video is pretty cool, if you can get past the over-the-top sound track.

I saw a 400DB with a homemade hardtop that looked like factory. Hard to believe he did it in his garage. No pictures unfortunately.
