I had a T top on my 21'. I have a few pictures on my personal page. Boston Whaler T tops have extra reinforcement in critical locations. I got mine from a custom manufacturer and it was well made but the screws were constantly coming loose. We fished pretty hard and occasionally in "only in a whaler weather". The Boston Whaler t-top was made much better. So, if you can find an old one, I would go that route. If not, a custom one will work, I would make sure they put backing plates where it comes in contact with the console and use nylon lock nuts, 5/16" over 1/4". Over engineer it because the boat will take a lot more abuse than the t top will. I also added a few back supports so the t top would hold 4 30TW's in rough conditions. This kept them from getting salt sprayed. You have a great boat.........good luck with your T top project.
