GTRKEV great looking boat! Is the T-top costume? I am looking for one if you can point me in the right direction?! Thanks

Thanks!
Yes, my T-Top is custom. But the original builder of Seacraft T-Tops is in WPB, FL Birdsall Marine. http://www.marineproducts.net
If I was getting a new T-Top, I'd start there. Their quality is top notch.
I just bought a set of cooler slides from them over the Internet and they work great and are very well built.

Can you tell me who made your swim ladder? Thanks in advance.

[gtrkev]

The swim platform was custom made by Juan, and he attached the ladder underneath. He did the entire boat, fiberglass, painting, T-top. Everything but the cushions. He asked for my input on almost every decision, which was great, made it feel truly custom. And he added excellent insight and advise on how to do it right.

Here is his contact info:

I just re-read your question. I was thinking about the fiberglass swim platform. But, you asked about the swim "ladder"...

That is a Garelick under platform swim ladder.

I got mine from amazon for $155 bucks. I like it a lot!

It's a little harder to put away, but I love having a 100% smooth swim platform surface with no ladder parts in my way.

What an awesome rebuild!

Where the in deck hatches in the stern built in house or off the shelf pieces?

[gtrkev]

Thanks!!

The in deck hatches were there when I bought the boat. The previous owner put them in when he raised the floor. Since they are both the same size rectangles, I'm guessing he bought them off the shelf, don't know where he got them though.

Thanks!

The grab rails were originally from Amazon. But, one of them started rusting. Got another one from somewhere like Boat Owners Warehouse or wholesale marine. It's stainless quality was better. I don't recall the exact store as I was buying lots of parts from lots of stores. But like how they look and how they work. Pretty cheap too!
