when I had mine made for the sea boss 19 it cost me a little over 1700

Give Atlantic Towers in Bayville NJ a call. I had one installed on my last boat and have nothing but good things to say about there company. They don't do installs themselves but they have a guy who does them on weekends for them.

Just curious about this? When you have a T-top installed should you take the additional weight under consideration when figuering out the gross weight your boat can carry? Say, if your boat can carry 900lbs and the t-top weighs 150, are you then limited to trying to stay with a load under 750lbs?

Yep and it's for this reason a lot of smaller boats with limited weight capacity get soft t tops instead or hard ones.

There always a chance if boat is still made, you might contact Mfg. , they may have one . You know it will fit properly !'
Other than local one big after market company in FL. Birdsall Marine, you could contact them. Over the years I had many custom add ons by them, all top quality!
I would still prefer local but years ago they had the largest selection of CC extras I ever saw!

I Would Say Leave It As It Is,i Think You Will Get More Shade Now Then With A T Top,my Opinion Yours Is Perfect
