In spite of my R-21 being listed for sale, I am still interested in improving the little tug, with a possible goal of taking her to Florida this Winter if she doesn't sell. With that in mind, does anyone have a surrey frame (---canvas included) that they would be interested in selling? I prefer the surrey top,over the folding bimini, but I might also consider the latter as I have a very close clearance available to get in and out of my garage if I increase the door height. I can lower the wheelhouse top with the tongue jack - but raising the jack hardly affects the aft height of the tug. I'll have to remove the radar and it's mounting stand to get the height down to 8'-5", and my garage door will have a 8'-8" height. That said, does the surrey top run parallel to the cockpit sole - or does it remain at a constant height above the gunwale? My wheelhouse upper measurement is from the top of the running lights - which should provide clearance for the slightly higher forward edge of the installed surrey top - but not for the rest of the surrey if it remains a constant height above the gunwale. Thamks in advance for your interest.
