Hard top conversion

[marykhubby]

I own an '82 Carver 3607 AC. She does not have the hardtop option installed (soft tops today). As I see it, I have 2 options to accomplish this:
1) hire out an aftermarket installation
2) obtain a used factory original top, refurb and install.

My questions are:
a) any recommendations based on experience on whether 1 or 2 above is better (expense-wise too)?
b) what sources can you recommend in MICHIGAN-OHIO area for obtaining a top?

My 3rd solution - buy a 4207 with hardtop!
Not sure the admiral shares my viewpoint (yet) but it sure looks like a great excuse to me to get a nice wide beam.

Thx
Don

Go for the 4207 with the hardtop! Anything else will devalue your current boat.

I agree with Flutterby's statement. Also want to add that when you price either of the 2 options you suggested, I suspect the 4207 will be the less expensive option.
