This Key West came to us with a factory hardtop and a rather low bridge to navigate under. We removed the existing hardtop and fabbed up a new folding soft top.
Our folding tops aren’t built like your normal tops that come out of a box. Everything is braced off properly so that when it is in the upright position it is just as sturdy and strong as one of our fixed tops, no movement, no shaking, and no breaking welds like those “universal” tops.

Another Key West 186 upgraded with a Blackwater top!

A custom top isn’t just about shade, it’s built to go with the lines of your boat while adding strength, functionality, and value. Unlike universal tops, our custom frames are designed specifically for your boat, creating a cleaner fit, better support, and a structure built to last.

A quality T Top can help increase resale value while giving you a much more comfortable experience on the water.

This 28’ McKee Craft came in with cracks on multiple weld joints of his factory t top. When it comes to t top repair just welding up the cracks and throwing a small corner gusset in will only be a bandaid fix.
We added an aft set of legs that ties the t top down into the leaning post, doing so fully locks the t top down and prevents the constant side to side racking that cracks welds. We can also use it to add extra rod holders if needed.

The enclosed windshield on our D-Tube Tops does more than just look good, it provides protection from wind, rain, and spray while keeping the helm area more comfortable in any weather. The integrated vent window allows fresh air to flow through the cockpit when needed, giving you the perfect balance of protection and ventilation without sacrificing visibility.

We recently put our new bender to work on a run of 20 full sets of D tubing T top legs for a local company, and the results speak for themselves. Consistency from part to part and repeatable bends that are ready to go straight into production.

If your shop has ever had to turn away work because of concerns about the ability to bend D tube, this is exactly where we can step in. We’re set up to handle bends in multiple directions while maintaining shape integrity, no flattening, no bowing, and little to no surface scratching. That means less cleanup, less rework, and a better finished product for your customer.

If you’re looking to expand your capabilities without investing in new equipment or slowing down your workflow, we’re here to be a reliable extension of your shop.

Before and after on this Sportsman 232. We removed the factory soft top and upgraded it to a custom D-tube hardtop with a full enclosure. The result is a much stronger, more rigid setup with clean, modern lines and significantly better protection from the elements.

This kind of upgrade completely transforms the look and feel of the boat while adding real resale value. It’s a solid option for anyone wanting the benefits of a newer setup without the cost of buying a new boat. Message me if you’re thinking about upgrading your setup
