Author Topic:   21 Conquest Hard Top

Treypescatorie posted 03-25-2009 04:50 PM ET (US)
I have a 2000 21 Conquest. I really like the boat, but I would like it even more with the hard top. Whaler does not offer the top any more, besides when the boat was new it was way too expensive to buy the factory top. I was thinking of buying a hard top from another manuacturer and installing it on my boat .The thing that concerns me is that I would want the piping done as close to the whaler factory top as posible.I was wondering if they would sell the top with out the piping.

I have seen 21Conquest with aftermarket hardtops none can compere to the factory top.I would shop marine salvage outlets for a oem top.Also do a search on this website I think Whaler had some problems with the support structure on the early Conquest and offered a reworkkit for the top structure.They may still offer a top support kit.My boat was built in May 1999 and I have had no support problems.

All BW's tops are made by Sunshine Welding in Canaveral, FL. They probably still have the jigs to build one. You might be on your own for the actual top, however. It wouldn't be too hard to make something nice.

I worked with Sunshine over the course of several months getting my top repaired and strenthened. They are very nice folks to work with.

That didn't come out right...
What I mean is they may be able to build the cage for you, but I don't think they make (or made) the actual fiberglass top.
