seabuddy Admiral Registered: 12/15/02 Posts: 28862	I have said it before, any demand for a fully push-button convertible top on a runabout?

BToran Admiral Registered: 08/06/05 Posts: 2089 Loc: Glen Cove, New York	nice to have, but no way would it be a priority for me. if we're fantasizing about buttons, how about one for cleaning the whole boat? _________________________ Bruce Toran 1996 Carver 320 Voyager ----------------------------------------- "Don't Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head"

BToran Admiral Registered: 08/06/05 Posts: 2089 Loc: Glen Cove, New York	looks very car-like (obviously). can you stand under there or only sit on the seats when the top is up? _________________________ Bruce Toran 1996 Carver 320 Voyager ----------------------------------------- "Don't Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head"

deepv Safety Officer Admiral Registered: 03/17/04 Posts: 6679 Loc: SoCal	Looks like that boat you're going to restore. Classic lines from the 50's and 60's. Got any pictures that show the big picture (whole boat)? In line with the option pricing, they'd want $20k for the push button. _________________________ 72% of fatal boat accidents are caused by boaters that haven't taken a safe boating course. 2001 Sea Ray Sundeck 190 5.0 EFI Alpha I,Generation 2 2002 4x4 LB Lariat CC F250, 7.3PSD

SeaVet Vice Admiral Registered: 06/20/07 Posts: 155 Loc: Raleigh, NC	Not interested. But, having destroyed my bimini by backing it into a shed roof yesterday, I would appreciate a "Hey stupid, put me down!!" alarm with my next bimini.

KCook Admiral Registered: 12/30/02 Posts: 9976 Loc: Phoenix	Interesting find seabuddy. Down here in the sunbelt you couldn't give that away. But I would think there is a place for it up north? Certainly more stylish than a pilothouse, likely cheaper to buy as well? IMHO this was a nice try. However the side windows need to be fuller, not the usual taper down to the deck. And that color for the cloth doesn't work. Elaborate tops are a hit with yacht launches. But those are VIP shuttles, not really for family watersports. Kelly
