Hard Top for older Grady

[Dave M]

Im looking for a hard top for my 1991 Grady White Offshore. Can you guys make any suggestions on how to get one without paying a ton of cash? It seems to me there should be alot of older boats with one that would fit mine but Im having a hard time locating one.

Thanx for any help

Dave,

Keep an eye on Ebay, I've seen them there from time to time. I think the tops from a 23' Gulfstream as well as the 25' Sailfish will fit your boat, but I'm not 100% sure.

On another note, I've heard from numerous sources that the factory tops from older boats had some issues with welds cracking. Apparently, they were not reinforced adequately. Sea Sleuth (John) had to have the top on his Offshore 24 reinforced last year I believe. Maybe he will chime in w/ some more details.

You might try contacting some of the local custom fabrication shops. Maybe other GW owners have removed their OEM tops for new, custom ones.

Good luck.

Thanx Brian. I read something on here about the OEM CO. for Grady but I cant find it.I have found a place down here called Cutting Edge Marine, They can build a custom soft top for 1450$ any color installed one day sevrvice.
