Looks like a great invention. I wonder how much a set of double electrically reclining fixed tops would cost?

Pretty slick :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I would have hoped it would close off the ends to help keep insects, birds, dirt, etc..... looks like the sides are "loose fitting" as well. Very cool with the fact that you can have a single, or double bimini as well as the cover feature.

Wonder what a typical cost is for a 24 ft toon?????

I've heard that it's trailerable up to 70mph.... I'm betting that means you can only do 50mph, into a 20mph wind.... i sure don't have a anemometer in my truck....

i guess it's for folks that don't trailer much...

No thanks. There are times we ride with the top stowed. Also, adds weight and complication and I'm not that lazy yet.

While I was able to get up with someone at Jackson Canvis. Found out if you want one you have to take your boat to them in Jackson MI. Now waiting on a call from a rep so I can see what kind of price they want. Since I am from MI and will be going there this summer not a problem getting the toon to them. But need to know how long it takes and what it cost.

Got up with company. You have to take boat to them. Takes about a week to install estimated cost 5,300. You have to complete the form with all measurements. They then make everything and then you drop off for install. Comes with 5 year warranty.
