Default Custom Fiberglass T-top work

Looking for any suggestions on anyone in the CT/RI area who does top notch fiberglass T-top work. Need to replace the top on my 23 pro line sport and want to go with a custom fiberglass t-top instead of the factory poly/plastic top. Any suggestions or experience you guy have working with anyone in this are would be appreciated. Boat pictured below.

Thanks,

Kevin

If you're willing to travel to York, Maine I would highly suggest Redman Marine Fabricators. I have a 24' Pursuit CC that I had a custom T-Top made for and he is the best fabricator in the industry with top notch customer service. Happy to discuss more if you'd like.

I had a molded fiberglass top, with a molded-in electronics box, made for my ProSport by Fastech Marine Fabrication in Plymouth. Very happy with the craftsmanship after four years of hard service.

Default Custom Fiberglass T-top

Hey, I found that Fastech did a nice job but they were pricey. I had Propertops do the same one for hundreds less- beautiful welds, nice canvas and turned it around in less than a week. It looks like a totally different boat!

Give a Dave a call from Propertops, Plymouth, MA.
He is all word of mouth.

HIGH END CUSTOM MARINE FABRICATION
CONTACT DAVE AT PROPERTOPS 781-361-0237 OR EMAIL AT PROPERTOPS@AOL.COM

So is Fasttech the way to go around the Boston area? I want a new top as well with a large custom light array? Anyone else have suggestions?

Don't know if that is the same J&J Marine Fabrication as the one in Somerset, MA, but they recently closed their doors and filed bankruptcy.

Default T-top

Another vote for Fastec in Wareham. They completely redid my t-top this spring. They also put outrigger mounts on t-top roof. They "listened" to my needs and went out of their way to perfect what they were doing. After they delivered job, I had small issue. They took the boat in and not only solved the issue, but put an insane amount of thought into the fix. I was impressed by Scott and his henchmen. You get what u pay for. I would go back to them again. I was holding my endorsement until I saw how it worked out. I will post some pics after the fish head south. Todd
