Who has tried a ex race canopy cat as poker run pleasure boat
Just wondering who has tried having a ex race canopy cat as a poker run/pleasure boat ? Think of changing from my Nor-tech and trying this out. Any advice would be appreciated.

The Jag used to be full canopy. I tried to talk my wife into keeping that way. After she crawled into the cockpit, it became abundantly clear :lolhit: that either the canopy had to go or I'd be boating without her.

I did it for two years. MTI race boat to Poker Run boat. I converted it to a partial half top removable canopy that could be on or off either way.
The pros are: Looks bad azz, no wind, no sensation of speed, safe. The cons are: unbelieveably loud, headsets are a must or your ears will hurt from the noise, can not see very well, hot, hot, hot, wife hated it. I converted the boat to a full pleasure this winter. I like it this way now. http://i41.tinypic.com/kbyb6q.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2rqkmcz.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/e0fw4i.jpg |

I too am intrested in this, Looking at converting an old racing V for pleasure use, it has a full canopy but i'm looking at convering to a removable/retractable perspex roof.
