T-Top curtains

[fl19314]

I'm looking at getting curtains for my 21' center console and so far haven't found exactly what i want. Can some of you guys post some pictures to give me some ideas. I think i want the wings all the way to the deck or close enough so that the guys in th back don't get wet. Give me some ideas thanks for the help

Here is a picture of my 21' Regulator. I have taken the side curtains off for the summer. The front has the half round opening for air flow when its warm out. I had the sides done in three pieces so I could roll up one at a time as needed. The wings fold back against the console and snap in place to make the phone booth if desired. I also went with the Stratoglass, Tenara Thread, and Stamoid material and spared no expense. I have Rockfished in late December 40-50 degree temps in a T-shirt behind this greenhouse!

JayBird70 - very nice! What do you do for maintenance on the curtains? Scratches?

Do you leave them up all the time? Do you have a rear curtain? What was the total expense?

I have had them 2 seasons now and I have only rinsed them with water, but every time. I bought the cleaner conditioner from Stratoglass but have yet to use it. The front stays on all the time. I keep the sides on untill around late May and then put them back on around September to October. I hang them from the ceiling in the garage during the summer. I did not get a rear curtain made and just havent needed it to be honest. I gave up 3 Gs for them. Seemed steep and I have had people say they can make them for less but they always have to cut quality of the material or the construction. I have a zipper on the top and bottom with a strip that stays in place for short term removal. The Stratoglass is thick and does not roll up as easy as thinner products, but seams to stays clearer than some also.

Don't cut corners here, youll have them for a long time if you take care of them and it really changes the boat!
