Default New Boat Top

My buddy Jeff (SET_THE_HOOK) and I have been fishing and hunting together since high school in Pendleton (now 30+ years ago). We own two boats together (Willie drifter and Predator). I guess we're getting old because we are getting tired of hunkering down in the rain while fishing in the Predator. With all the good things said about Jerry's out in Boring, we decided to have him install a new top.

The top turned out better than we could have hoped for. He also made a snap-on bow cover to keep rain from seeping into the achor storage area (bow sticks out of our covered parking).

Its going to be different sitting inside warm and dry for a change.

This is my first picture upload. I have two more photos but I can't figure out how to upload multiple pictures.

Anyway, here's another plug for Jerry. The workmanship is fantastic and the price was better than quotes from others.

I know the sun was in a bad spot. I have some better shots ready to post (they are in the picture upload) but I can't figure out how to post multiple pictures. Any suggestions?

Fishnagain - We paid just over $900 for the Top, the anchor box cover, and 2-30" dia. sea anchors (drift socks). You have to consider the new sea anchors because the top will catch more of the breeze so keep that in mind.

We waited about 3 weeks to get it in and it took 3 full days to complete. It is worth the wait!
