New top -- runabout -- "camping" top or standard 1/2 top?
I dropped the boat off today for it's new top. After talking with him, I'm
considering doing a "camping" top where you can sit (out of the rain) in the aft
seats.Are they're any any downsides, other than windage & cost, that I'm overlooking? Thanks

| If you live in a climate where the boating season could be extended
considerably if you could enjoy the full enclosure of a camper canvas,
it would seem to be well worth the cost. One downside, particularly with gas engines; make sure you maintain
positive airflow through the enclosure when underway. Leaving a small
opening aft and another opening up near the windshield may be enough
in many cases. You can collect carbon monoxide in that "tent" if you
don't take some simple precautions to combat the station wagon effect
of CO coming in over the transom. I'd rig a CO detector in the cockpit
if it were mine. |

| Consider the stowage of the additional panels. |

| We plan on using it near-year-round for commuting.... >of CO coming in over the transom. I'd rig a CO detector in the cockpit

already installed.... Thanks for your thoughts -josh |

| Almost a moot issue, there's plenty of room to store it while "under way" and
then if we camp over night; we can put them back up. Good tho; thanks
