Looks nice !
I saw the boat / trailer at Holiday Chicken on RT 5 on my way North yesterday afternoon. I would have stopped but I was running late for my party !
Aply some Woody Wax on the tubing for protection ! Apply 303 Fabric protectant to the canvas for UV protection.

T-Tops Ect. HUH. Your going to need bracing around those rigger, Or your going to bust the welds. Plus the front need a side to side bracing because those cat boats don't turn like a v boat. Don't get me wrong its a nice top and good lines but needs bracing up a little. You should do it now while the piping looks fresh. Have any questions write me ill help. Welding and tower work was my trade. Trying to help a fellow fisherman out.

Ok, were the outrigger bases are. They are behind the rear arch, their is no support for them back their. When the rigger are fully extended they are going to be pushing down on the top at the rear corner. A brace needs to be put in from the rear leg to the back of the top or right behind the rigger base. I looked closer at the front and it should be fine like that.
Sorry for making you worry. The guy that welds for T-top Etc. Is a great welder. He only does what he is told to do. I would trust his welds. But like any metal when it moves it breaks, and alum. can only move a couple of times before it splits. So you got to make it stiff.
The glacier bay top is a good top. See how the bottom arch at the rear goes completely across the back and flows into the rear legs across the legs and into the brace that runs front to back. That is displacing the shock that a top gets from the boat. You just need a brace in the rear corners, thats all. No big deal.
Like i said Sorry for making you worry, Just wanted to help you before stuff started to happen.
