20' Master Angler T Top or naked?

[Beaver]

Marks 20 does look great with that T top.

I just recently went through the same process on my 18. The T Top it came with was newer but pretty
badly pitted. I also didnt care for the design of mine. Combined with the fact Im a west coast free diver and like the sun to warm me up....off it went. I sold it easily for $750 and put the money into other things needed for the boat. A year later I havent looked back.

No top on my 23 CC Inboard, and I plan to keep it that way.

I'm a yes and a no. Marks T-top is the only t-top I would have on a 20. Most of them look too big and bulky. Having it custom built to the shape of the consel and fit of the boat seems to be the way to go. You can always go bimini like I did on my 20. When I go out with the family the bimini goes on....but when it's just me and my buddies I take it off. (No pun intended capt Chuck)

after owning my first its great, really too many reasons but hard to think of not having one. I am also a stroke survivor, although I don't have any balance issues per se except when I might hang with Denny and his Demon sauce too much - it helps alot to hold on getting out at the dock - just say'in

Marks boat looks great with the top but my console is a lot wider and being a master angler, I think the gunwale caps are wider. This leaves very little space between the top and the gunwales to pass through.

If your console is original, it's wider than mine was.
My gunwale caps were wider (they weren't left at the original width).

If you are leaving everything original, you have a very different critter than I did. The hull is the only thing that remained original on mine......and I'm not entirely certain we should have even retained that.

Take this in account, if your planning on fishing the back water you might be limited on where you can go with the t-top. There are a lot of lower bridges that won't clear the top. If you are not doing this then a goog fitting top that is not to large for the smaller 20 also that matches the boat's consoles lines would be fine to me. I'm putting one on my 23 but not the 20 due to this. Just a thought...
