    Anyone with experience of retractable hard-tops or automatic convertible roofs on boats?
    Building at the moment a 35ft retro runabout with a multi roof . in front of cockpit there be a hardtop with moon roof and in aft there be a remote controlled retractable folding hard-top(carbonfibre). Maybe first in the world with this roof system on a boat:?:
