I have looked all over for the answer but have had no luck so figured I’d ask here. My 2006 Advance has the vinyl top currently. While it’s still in decent condition, it’s beginning to show signs of wear. I would like to convert it to a hardtop as I have future plans to add a tower for sight fishing offshore. Couple questions.
1) Has anyone ever converted their vinyl to hardtop on an Advance, Fisherman or something similar?
2) Would the new Fiberglass tips that come on the Fisherman fit the Advance? I have seen a couple pictures of the newer t-tops and the design is almost exact to what is on the Advance.
All help is greatly appreciated. I’m just trying to avoid having to go custom if possible.
