Well it's a big pain in the A!! (waaa waaa waaa ) because I can't store pictures there! Every time you want to do a picture you need to upload it all over again. - that's lame.

At least photobucket allows you to store your pics and select them from thier site - but photobucket is so slow it's more like a bucket of ____ well - you "get the picture"..

So THERE!

I consider it an advantage, which is why I suggested it.

But you can put the urls in a favorites folder, so you can find them again. Give them a name so you know what it is. Easy peasy.

It's because YOU suggested it that I figured it was probably the only way and resolved to do it. (I kinda thought that was obvious).

Rule 1: If Tom is doing it that way there probably is not a better way -

That still does not mean I am not going to complain about it. (Let's remember who we are talking about here!)

Hi Boat
Do not get discourage I do like the pic,s of ur interior mods that I have been able to access lol , u do do some nice mods I must do say !

J

I am putting in a headliner in the boat cabin next.

Please entail ur boat already has a interior liner !!

I am putting in a headliner in the boat cabin next.

Sounds pricey...Does her manager know about it?

No no! I'm not putting a famous female vocalist in the boat! That's not what I am doing! (Lady Gaga already turned that down 3 years ago, but I am still waiting to hear back from Miley Cyrus - but that was FOUR years ago so I don't think that one is gonna work either)

I am putting a soft headliner in the top of the cabin to keep me from bumping my head on the roof all the time.

It goes on the ceiling - does that make sense? Am I saying it wrong?

would,nt a bicycle helmet be a lot cheaper !! or deflating that thing on top of ur shoulders might also give u some more head room !!

or u could raise the height of the sliding hatch by cutting out the center say 26" wide & 50" long or what ever the max length u could go with then re - attach the cut-out section back on with 4 strips of alum reversed channel say 3-4" high depending on how much more head room u need " this would be a very cheap mod as all u need is the channel & hardware "
or just raise the whole sliding hatch really not much involved in doing that & gain lots more head room
or u could do something like I,m gonna do a little more money cut out the hatch I,m going with the bigger one now as seen in my pic


& installing one of these . I got it when it was on sale for a $180. cheaper

PS also u can remove the sliding hatch & replace it with that nice sleek hardtop u designed

NO NO NO!

Why not just put in a pop-top? Roger invented the darn things - It would be super easy to put a pop top on the MAC and it would work right on the existing sliding hatch - and if done with flat stainless steel metal bars instead of tubing it even will not intrude very much into the cabin headroom when closed. Of course - I think the thing your not gonna like about a POP TOP is that they are not really water proof. Indeed - if your up in Canada (and not in Southern California), perhaps a hard top may be better - in that case I recommend making a completely new hard top - so you can have two tops for your boat just like people who own the 1957 Thunderbird convertible car have two tops for their cars (a soft top and a removable hard top). It's on my list too but way down on my needed mods.

I don't think I would raise the headroom that way John, I highly recommend that if your going to put openings in the sliding hatch that you just buy a new sliding hatch and cut up the old one or make a new sliding hatch to modify - there is already not enough deck space for walking on top of the M boat - you might want the original hatch sometimes.

No No . if u r going to go to all that effort then either raise the sliding hatch 3-6" like I said or the same height as my dodger using the sliding hatch as the roof & install a wrap around windshield with an opening door window like the bowrider,s have make it a snap on roof now unsnap the roof or make it fold open to one side so u can raise or lower the mast

Or I really like ur sleek hardtop design

Yea, Maybe sometime I'll actually build it. So many things - I need to retire to get them all done.

If u measure the stripes the bottom one is narrower than the second stripe so u could make the top stripe wider on the hardtop to follow the sequence & it would not look out of place & go with clear windows for foul weather & night vision ,
So BOAT
why don,t u stretch the height of ur hardtop design then post it to just see if my concept is right

J

OK BOAT
go to pge 11 , 15 16
check out these factory produced windshield , install one or similar & make ur own or shop for a hardtop roof that will fit it
