I have a 01' 1675 Explorer. Does anyone know if the dodger top from an 03 1900 Pro V will fit? Anyone have a dodger top for their 1675? Thanks!

Still no suggestions huh? Oh well... The local canvas shop can make one for around $1200 but I am not sure it is worth the investment. I'm hoping to find a used one somewhere. If anyone has any leads, please let me know.

Its like a bimini top but has plastic sides and front that enclose the area. The back is usually open but can also be enclosed.

thanks. i always thought those were just called storm curtains or storm tops. i'm in minnesota. is "dodger" a local term or the actual nautical term? kind of like we have "snowmobiles" here but in alaska they are apparently called "snow machines"

I'm not sure if it is a nautical term but Lund refers to it as a Sport Dodger Top in the Pro V models.

I'm in Utah where it is not quite as cold as Minnesota. I have been considering getting one to allow me to more comfortably fish into November.

If you want to see one, here is a company in Winnipeg, Manitoba that makes a nice aftermarket one I have been looking at. It is near the bottom of they products page.

ut84088,

Did you ever move forward on this? I love the sport dodger solution.

Not yet... I recarpeted my boat and did a bunch of work on my motorhome this year so money was tight. I like the look of the one pictured on the link I mentioned. I too like the dodger top idea and I am hoping to get one next year. I'll post a picture if I do.
