Default Electric arch top

Has anyone had any dealing with these guys?....www.sureshade.com

When I had my PowerPlay CC I put on a new arch similar to the ones you see on Concepts and Renegades. I loved the look of the arch but hated the hassle of pulling and retracting the canvas top. I preferred how it looked closed but sometimes you need the shade. Opening and closing was always a pain. I always wondered if someone built an electric top that could but opened and closed at the touch of button. SureShade seem to have some solutions that could work, like this maybe.... http://www.sureshade.com/retractable...s#.Ufle76zeKzY. They also seem to have an automated bimini top and arch in the works http://www.sureshade.com/video-demos#.Uflf0KzeKzY (go to the bottom of the page). It would be great if builders like Concept could get together with them and make an automated arch with that modern look.

I know they are out there, I saw one on a Boston Whaler 285, it looked like a roller shade that retracted into the hard top, i just leave mine open, never feel the need for more sun.

Thats cool! Ive always thought about what it would be like with a retractable hatch...like roll-n-lock bed cover off a truck...but made from aluminum like a roll up garage door....
