Does anyone know who fabricated t-tops for Boston Whaler when they were in Rockland, MA ? In-house vs private contractor, I tried the search function on this site, but may be doing something wrong. Thank you

It is marginally possible whichever firm was used to outsource the tops remains in business.
If you search the on-line Whaler drawings for that era you MAY find some useful information. If not, a call to Boston Whaler can often be rewarding.

I would check with Nauset Marine. They have been a major Whaler dealer for a very long time.
Personally, I would go with a local fabricator after serious due diligence. Expect to pay 2-3K without options.

Thank you Phil for the response, Nauset Marine wanted $7000 for a t-top for my 1997 20' Outrage, I looked at a boat that they were repairing, the t-top had been damaged, the work is top notch, but more than I was hoping to spend. I noticed you responded to another member regarding the rear grab rails for a 1996 Outrage, the t-top looked really nice on that boat, did you have any information as to who may have built it ? Thank you
