I'm in the middle of nowhere for the summer, and have access to a great welder (local guy & friend). I was wondering if there are plans that would help him build me a T-Top for our Dauntless.

Thanks

Do not put a t-top on a 14' boat. One good gust of wind and you will be in the drink. There are many reasons why they are not an option from the factory.

If you want shade, add a bimini.

Hull is not designed to support a t-top.

Bummer, I really like the Ts, not a fan of the biminis bouncing around. Probably will go w/ nothing.

Thanks for the feedback.

Bimini tops should not bounce around. Many run tie downs from the top to the center console rail to minimize movement.
