tower on sceptre

[douglasbeasley]

Has anyone here put a hard top on a Sceptre with a second control station on top? If so how did it affect ride and any pictures?

Thanks

I know with just a hard top and a 4' array, it makes them very tippy in beam seas, trolling, or at rest. Throw 200 pounds and the gear up there, and I wouldn't want to be above or below. Deep V hulls tend to roll more than their flatter counterparts, and moving the center of gravity up isn't usually a good thing. I know mine with the hardtop and small radar dome tends to rock a little more, especially with a low fuel load, riding higher out of the water.
