 Got the top installed easy as pie !!!  Even did a step by step on the install and have it on the site. Lots of people asking me about it.

Love the T-top. You guys turned my Carolina Skiff into a fishing machine. 
It has improved the ease of fishing with this boat beyond what I had imagined. 
No more battling through the poles and straps of the bimini. 
It was easy to install and is super functional. We haven't had any problems with it.

I couldn't be happier with the top.  It makes the boat - plus the rod holders, spreader lights and 
navigation lights look perfect on the universal mounts.  
I attached a few pictures for you to choose from for the site if you want - including one closer up of how I used the existing handrail. 
 If someone with the same boat decides to install one, might be food for thought - and I'm sure my "solution" could 
easily be improved upon to look cleaner.  Looking forward to a great summer on the water with the new top!  
Thanks again for everything!

Here are several photos illustrating the installation of a Fishmaster T-Top on a 1765 Carolina Skiff.

Also modified one of the rod holders to support a post and swivel rear view mirror.

The top was installed by myself and 90 year old father in about 4 hours.  

Several friends have had custom tops, costing around $2000.00, installed in the last year, none are more substantial or look any better than the Fishmaster – some not as good.  Unbeatable price, have never been more satisfied with any product or service.  If I am ever in the market for another T-Top Fishmaster will be my first consideration.

So there I was; the start to every good story; looking at T-Tops forthe brand new 2010 Carolina Skiff DLX I had ordered and was waiting to
go pick up.  Most of the custom built stuff ran over 2000.00 and up, which I was leery about, especially for something that in my mind was
a glorified umbrella and fishing rod holder, yet a really cool looking one.  I was also concerned that there was no way I’d be able to get
under any bridge on freshwater ever again.  Then I find another company who made a top that had pins and the whole thing came off; but
something looked flimsy and cheap about it.  For 600.00 I was concerned I still wouldn’t be getting my money’s worth.  Then I ran
across Fishmaster’s website, with it’s Hooter-esque calendars and full line of accessories and I saw the folding part.  I thought “Wow, this
is cheaper than custom built, I can rig the whole thing with my VHF antenna, rocket launchers and halogen lighting for less than 1700.00
shipped.”  But as I had never seen one of these tops here in NC in person, I was still leery about it until the boxes showed up.
Pictures can only do so much justice to a product, and then you just have to put your hands on it.  But, as a North Georgia College
graduate, I was familiar with the Forsyth County, GA area and the type of folks that live and work there, so I took a leap of faith and
ordered the whole shebang.  I had to wait on backorder for a while, which was not a problem because my boat was being built at the same
time a couple of hours away from the Fishmaster folks.  Luckily my top came in a few days after I got the boat picked up.  I was honestly
stunned at the level of precision put into the design of the top and the size and gauge aluminum used to construct it.  My first thought
was, this is no cheap fly by night operation, this thing is the real deal.  The folks at Fishmaster were awesome when I had a million and
one questions about how to rig the wiring for my lights and communications equipment.  It took about a day, working mostly alone
to get the frame installed and set it.  Once I set the standoffs in place, this thing was solid enough for me to do chin ups on, but being
a bigger guy I didn’t attempt it.  The second day was spent tracing wires through the tubing, in and out around the welded joints, which I
installed grommets, sealed the holes with the leftover 5200 from the deck mounting, and heat shrunk all my exposed wiring.  Last thing was
to tie on the Sunbrella cover, which presented no major challenges.  I will tell anyone, especially Carolina Skiff owners, who are a unique
breed in and of themselves, if you have any thoughts about putting a T-Top on your Skiff, I say go for it, and get in touch with these
guys.  As someone who refuses to pay full price for anything if I can help it, I will tell you this; compared to any other top I have ever
seen or put hands on, this is your best bargain and worth every penny. I advise you this also, set aside 2 days to work on it, follow every
step to the letter, measure twice, cut once and take your time; do it RIGHT.  I have been running mine down the highway and wide open on the
lake and had no problems at all.  I would also tell you, as you can see in the pictures, get a T-Bag for your top as well.  It is very
handy, even if you choose to use the electronics box, and saves a ton of storage from your decks with things like life vests, jackets, rain
gear, etc.  And finally, Fishmaster’s accessories, like rod holders, lighting, antenna mounts and so on, are all the same quality build and
finish that the top is, and I recommend anything these guys make.  I’m not being endorsed or compensated in any way for writing this, and
it’s usually something I would never take the time to do, but I am just so impressed with the product I got after being a little unsure
what to expect.  I know there are others out there who feel the sameway, looking at tops and thinking “Is this really all that and a bag
of chips?  I am leery about ordering something based on pictures and I can't put my hands on it....”  Give Fishmaster a chance.  I did, and
have no regrets and will be a loyal customer from now on for all mymarine needs that they carry a product for.

Yates Smith's Carolina Skiff

Fishmaster T-Top installed on a 2012 Carolina Skiff 198 DLV.
Your installation instructions worked  absolutely great and everything fit perfectly.
Also wanted to thank you for the wonderful service.  I ordered it on Monday and it was delivered on Wednesday.
With the help of a neighbor, we assembled and installed it, laced the cover on in a total of 6 hours.

 

Jim Hedgecock's Carolina Skiff

This was a very easy install. I expected it to be quite a bit harder. I did however move the top foward by about 6in. It helps with rod holders on leaning post, and on Top. Anyway I like it!  Thanks for a quality product. Thanks for the fantastic service!!
 Im telling everyone on CarolinaSkiffOwner.com
