Hello all...
I have a 2002 Amberjack which is a great boat for us. We have had it now for about two years. I think that the canvas is original. We live on the Canadian west coast and use it for fishing and cruising. We put a camper back on the boat when I bought it but the job was not done overly well in consideration of the west coast and having the boat out in the elements.
So I am considering replacing the new canvas and the old one with a custom fit nor properly designed... Or as I have been considering lately, putting a hard top on the boat instead of the canvas top to allow for some interior lighting etc etc...
Has anyone done this or know of anyone who has done it?? Recommendations, considerations...
One main concern I have is the weight of the top and how it might change the ride of the boat from that of the light canvas.
Cheers
