The guy I bought it from installed a T top on the boat which I'm not crazy about. I was going to remove it. Is it possible that this was added to offset the weight of the motor, and if so I wonder what impact removing the T top would have?
I doubt it. A t-top is a pretty big investment, and there are lots of other good reasons to install one. In other words, that would be an expensive way to address a trim issue.
Would removing it affect the boat's trim? Probably somewhat. Most likely the boat will trim aft and the stern will sit a little lower. Dramatically? Probably not.
There are pros and cons to both T-tops and biminis. I think if I owned a boat where someone had already made the big investment in the t-top, I would keep it (unless it negatively affected storage in a garage, for instance.)
