Have someone available a detailed project (with measurements of the metal structure and of the awning) for self making a sun top of a 80's montauk 17?

If you're talking about a T-Top - I've been curious about what it would take to add one to my Montauk. I quickly abandoned the idea, as the boat is garaged (clearance issues), and there is a fair amount of discussion on this topic online.

Sorry CW-ers I searched this site and didn't find anything.

With so many companies in the USA selling sun and bimini tops that fit this model, I don't think you will find a drawing.

Have you looked at the tops offered on the internet that are in Europe?

Any local canvass maker should be able to bend one up easily.

Check out the Bimi Tee Top. Back in March 2009
I submitted pictures of my montauk. The tee top comes off and it fits in my garage!
Go to bimiteetop.com
I have my antenna, lights, PA speaker etc on it.
You can mount electronics and pole holders also.
It mounts up or down in less than 10 minutes. A lot less expensive than a installed type t top.
Check it out, you will not be disappointed.
Phil T of South Portland Maine has the pictures I sent him of my montauk.
