WME and Afishanado, wish I could see both of yours personally to see where you attached te wings on the outside of the console. Do both of your go to the floor? My goals are no screw holes if I can help it. I am looking at velcro straps but I need to block wind and spray on those nasty days.
Unless you're really lucky, count on having to put a couple screws in the hull. My top was done before I was involved in the boat. If we were to do it over I would choose different fasteners, but what is there works. Anyways... The trailing edge of the side curtain ties off to the underside of a rod holder. Uses a 3/4" nylon strap held to the rodholder using a ss hose clamp, clean'n'strong as hell. Where the wings meet the gunwale; it is attached top and bottom with 3/4 or 1" nylon straps connected to D style connectorson hull, using quick disconnect buckles (like a life vest has).. That maybe where they came from, I don't know, but it works well and has held up real well..
Mark who did that canvas work for you on your 20' Bert?
A woman named Pat Manly out of Nottingham, NH. She goes to the islands right about now through April, but she is fantastic. Also did the B25. If you need a contact number, let me know...
Can anyone provide a ballpark figure on what a roll up plastic windshield and a set of wings will cost to have made by a canvas guy.? The install will be on a 29' stamas tarpon.
Thanks
Mine came with the boat. Picture was taken off the web sight.. Full wrap around.
Don't forget the Carolina Country Boy heater for winter if you have a cc with a enclosure or a walkaround.
Standard Milk Crate like you see behind any fast fair, , 20 pound BBQ gas cylinder will fit right in it and a lowes single IR burner. Strap down, turn on, and enjoy.
I had a price on the 23.5 I use to have 2 years ago for 600 dollars. Hope this helps.

Here is mine - it is a 31 Fisharound which is a glorified center console. Went with EZ2CY on front and sides and 40 mil stratoglass on wings and back. The cover is a true 360 during the cooler months and then I take off the back panels and have the wings out to the side during the rest of the season.. I looks cloudy in the pics because it still had the protective film on it at this point.
