LOOKING FOR INPUT ON WHETHER IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT, OR REPORTED
LACK THEREOF. THE TOP ISN'T AS EASY TO RAISE AS IT USED TO BE,
I KNOW IT DIDN'T GAIN WEIGHT , MAYBE IT'S ME. WADDA YA THINK?

Perhaps the best addition I made to my boat. Search the threads for an easy way to install.

Very nice to have, just make sure you have a quick disconnect on your vang.

The pop-top on my current C25 seems twice as hard to lift as my previous one and I don't know why (and no, it didn't have a power lift). Due to a communications snafu, I missed out on the last one that was on the for-sale forum here - thought I had bought it but found out too late that my email somehow never reached the seller. I definitely have it on my upgrade list. If you pop the top a lot, it seems like a must-have.

My pop top has been far easier to lift since I have been getting my 54 year old butt into the gym and have been working out.

Good one Steve

When I read your comment I laughed my butt off.

Now I won't be able to lift my pop top
