Flats-Top by RNR-Marine provides shade for your flats boat!
RNR-Marine has completed its patent applications for 3 versions of its Flats-Top for flats boats. We have 3 versions: 2 that mount to the poling platform, and 1 that goes on the console. Each design provides:
shade for two people seated at the console,
ability to stand at wheel to sight for fish,
use of console mounted rod holders,
stability at high speed (75mph),
easy removed (pull a couple of quick release pins),
316 stainless steel tubing and fittings.
We can't produce all 3, so we need to know what works for you! Please check it out, and take our Flats-Top Survey for a $25 discount coupon (usable anytime in the future) at http://Flats-Top.com
It looks like we'll have 2 heights (Short and Tall). This prototype's height is halfway between these 2 heights. The Hell's Bay Guide 18 and Hewes 16 have a fairly low poling platform (33" height on the Guide 18) and will require a Tall Flats-Top. Boats with taller platforms like the Hewes 18 and Action Craft will use a Short Flats-Top (little or no rise built-in).
