Has anyone had any experience with this universal T-Top?

In concept it appears to be a well built and allows the unit to easily drop for transpot and entrance into a garage but I question how solid the final assembly is. The assembly video is shown in the support section on a Whaler.

No direct experience myself but have looked at them seriously. From what I saw on their video they seem to be much better built compared to the other folding t-tops and as well or better than some of the other non-folding t-tops in a box. Definitely not as nice looking as some of the custom or semi custom tops I've seen but it does cost much less and provides close to the same shading. The current pricing offer make it affordable and their shipping cost is reasonable.

Well, I purchased one and although it took a little longer to install than I expected, I couldn't be more please. The final product looks great, is very ridge, and hopefully the locktite keeps all the bolt tight.

How about you share what model boat you installed it on and post some photos for the members.
Was there anything out of the ordinary with the install?

I would be interested in seeing some pictures of the install as well.

Some details, http://strykerttops.com/products/Stryker-product-sheet-v1-0.pdf
The photos from the ground make the top look taller. It does have enough headroom even for tall Texans and their hats.
Could be a good option for those with a need to occasionally get under fixed bridges.

What type of boat did you install the top on?
Feejer posted 11-10-2009 09:27 AM ET (US)
Any chance of posting some of your own photo's?

Followed a link from another site today and found they're again offering these for $999 until the end of November.
