I miss that HT. It was the definition of a meat boat...

BB's High Tide was a bad rig.

She's going to splash again soon. Let my wife talk me into putting the 140 I bought for the old girl on the Sea Pro I picked up off of Collins. I never got rid of the old Optimax, so it's back on her. If I dont get too buried in turkey season, she will have bloody decks again soon.

First boat was a 13’ Carolina skiff. Caught the piss out of rockfish back in the day.


Current rig.

That’s where it’s at!

That Pathfinder is pretty slick for sure.

Question:

T-top guys, more pros than cons or no? Particularly when factoring in storage?

That's kind of like asking if anyone has ever bounced a ball.

I wouldn’t have one on anything less than 24-25ft. They take up a lot of room. Don’t offer that much shade, and cause the boat to sail in the wind. They also can be a problem with bridge clearance. It also depends on your fishing style. If you are primarily a dead stick with live bait or nearshore troller then I would say get one. If you like to throw artificials and move down banks or fly fish then I would say no top. Personally if I was going to have a t-top I would go ahead and get a half tower with second station.

For inshore fishing it gets in the way.

For inshore fishing it gets in the way.

Agreed. Pain when you’re fishing but nice in the summer if you’re just cruising.

First boat was a 14’ War Eagle with a 25 Evinrude.
Current boat is a Pathfinder 2200 and yes I like the T-top.

My thoughts as well. If it were a "family" fishing boat I guess I get it; if it's a dedicated fishing rig not so much.

Man both of those pathfinder rigs are slick…

i am just now deducing that sled mean boat....and I'm an offshore fishing SOB.

I have a t-top on my 21' sea pro. i like it. i dont like hot. I only inshore fish with it but it doesnt get in my way any more than a fellow angler does.

I dont take pics like you people. its a bote. with a ttop with sea pro on it. the motor is whatever motor it is and it goes fast enough.

and a power pole. I like a power pole.

Disappointed that you don't have a picture. I need verification that it is called "Dental Dam."

I was thinking more like “The Toof Ferry”.

Sweet rig; did you have to pay extra for the Cooper River racing stripe package?
