My current T-Top is powder coated stainless and I want to rip it off and replace it with a nice, solid aluminum T-top. Does anyone have any recommendations of anyone in Charleston that can build an aluminum T-top for my boat at a reasonable price?
Oswald Propeller does a good job at anything custom.

Brooks at Oswald Props and Tops does great work, he builds all the custom tops for Freeman. Mark Googer in Mt. Pleasant also does some really good work if you want two opinions.
By the way what is wrong with your current top? Do you just not like the design or is the power coat coming off? My aluminum top is really showing some wear and was thinking down the line of a new top or possibly getting it powder coated myself that is why I ask…

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Just noticed he got two recommendations; that may tell you something:wink:

I will be the third to HIGHLY recommend Brooks Oswald. He makes all the tops for the Freeman cats as mentioned above. He made my custom top and has helped me with several other add on projects. You get what you pay for and what you are paying doesn’t change from what he quotes you. If you saw the custom aluminum flats boats he has been making you would be blown away. Oswalds are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. A+++
Marc Googer built mine - aluminum- on my 25ft. Whaler Outrage. Very sturdy, neat welds, and custom fit. I think he does powder coating too.
