    Has anyone seen or have a folding, collapsable, break away, etc...T-Top? I'm getting a new 20' center console and prefer the T-Top to a bimini but priority is I want to be able to get it into the garage for storage. Too tall with a standard T-Top.

    Anyone seen or heard of such a thing?

    Thanks,

    Capt. Craig

    You could probably do it. An easier solution might be to have the top be in two pieces so that you have a bottom portion that is fastened to the sole, and then the top half slots into that and is secured by either pins or screws. This would be pretty easy to take apart and easier to fabricate than a folding one.

    T-Topless Drop your top!

    might try a T-Topless - it install in minutes (no holes) and folds down in seconds with 2 quick release pins ...

    Take a look at the T-Topless on this 2008 Triumph 170cc ...

    The Triumph is truly a plastic boat - injection or roto molded - very interesting.

    Who's got a Montauk? We have a special "Montauk T-Topless" version for you guys!

    We've dropped the Shadow folding, stainless steel T-Top to just $897! http://ShadowTop.com

    and added the Optional Spoiler to the Shadow..


    and the Sunbrella(r) canvas (Black or Mediterrannean Blue Tweed) repels water like a duck ...

    New Windshield and Side Curtains, which lace tightly to the T-Topless frame:

    and Full Size Side Curtains, which zip onto the smaller curtains:
