Re: making a topper for winter steelhead fishing

I'm working on a hard top using a slightly different technique.

Basically I've cut some 3/8 plywood to the right shape to form the top, and I'm going to finish glassing the top of it, then flip it over to attach 2 inch "ribs" for stiffness. After that I'll be welding aluminum support struts for it to attach to my boat.

It's about 7'2" wide by 7'6" front to back.
