Sweet ! Looks great. I noticed some lights under the T, is that what I'm seeing? if so nice thought, but no rear spreader lights , and maybe a front light! but it still looks great. What did it set you back?

I have a 2007 1902wa and wondered if this would work for my boat.Looks good Ron.Do you know how much weight it adds to the boat? Have you had onwater yet to see if boat handles differently? I have the 115 4 stroke.

thanks Ron

Looks great. Have been considering the same thing myself, need to get the rods out of the way. Have also been considering an arch. Was the top locally made? Did it come with the curtains or did you have to order from another source?

I boat in NJ. I have a 2005 1802, so I have been very interested in all the changes you have made to yours. Have considered the pulpit and top when I got the boat also. Ever think of making the cockpit drain overboard instead of into the bilge?

ecru. I did try to change out the drains. To much work and would not work that well.First thing to do is add daul batt. system with onboard charger and a bigger fuse block. You will need this if you add much of anything to your eletc.system.I try to use all LED lights.Ron

Looks great. Let us know how it all works. With all of these projects complete, when will you be installing electric windshield wipers? That is the other thing I have thought about for the 1802.

Re: T Top on Trophy 1802ww/a

Wipers came Sat. . Just finished cockpit cover yesterday. Got called back to work Monday so I'm not sure when I'll have time to finish up everything now.
So far every thing works fine.The only bad thing with the t top and curtins is foging of windows. Looking for a good 12 volt fan to stop that. Also looking into a heater. It's 54 inCocoa Fl. today. Ron

Very jealous. You are doing everything I ever wanted to do to my 1802. It is looking great. A small 12 volt portable heater would probably work really well and help reduce the fogging. So you have electric wipers, can't wait to see how th install goes. I just figured you would do it since I want them. I will have to copy your thread as a christmas list for my wife to get me things.
