I have the high top and wouldn't want an ugly old shorty Wink

. Seriously, it is more functional. People mention hitting the head as the main reason but for the crafty folks you can create extra storage up there. It's pretty easy to make a system to store fishing rods or the boat hook ect..

All I know is strangers seem to be drawn to my boat. Quite pesky really. It's like the boat was made out of magnets and everyone has a metal plate in their head Laughing

Merry Christmas as well!

I was chased down by a trucker at the I-80 turnoff in Utah (if you turn to the right to go to Boise there's rest-stop) and ended up answering questions for about a half-hour. Anytime I stop in a Wal Mart, etc., there's a lot of show and tell questions. Can't imagine how it would be with one of those swanky short Mr. Green

tops.

Not necessarily, Bill. Tow a Tall Top with a Duramax and see for yourself.

The windows are the same height from the floor in either the hi top or regular top.

I am 6'2", and would love to have the tall top, as I have to stoop ever so slightly in the boat. The real issue however is the door overhead. I can't tell you how many times I have knocked myself silly by not paying attention going in and out of the cabin. Fish... thud. What was that noise??? thud.

Post Script: A very Merry Christmas and wonderful 2007 to all of the Brats.

Got news for all you 'high-top' people, I'm 5' 10" with ample ceiling clearance in my CD-25 even with 9 fishing poles stored up there, BUT I STILL HIT MY FRIGGIN HEAD ON THE DOORWAY -- way too many times!!! Mad

After hitting my head on the doorway once too often, I put reflective red and white striped warning tape on both the door and doorframe. I'm not sure if it is a valid correlation but my noggin lumps seem to have become fewer.

I cut a short length of foam insulation(designed for 1/2" hot water pipe) and slip it over the trim around the top of the door opening. It fits snugly and pads those inevitable bumps to the noggin. I store it on the front of the electronics shelf when not in use.

I am 6' 3" and absolutly love my standard height 1991 Crusier. You want room? buy a yacht. I love my C-Dory because of how utilitarian she is. Space is at a premium. I may sit down more than the average cbrat but would never notice discomfort because hey, I'm out boating, how bad can it be? Idea

Harbor Man Dan – first let me welcome you to the forum. You have the right attitude about boating.

I see this is your first post, although you have been a member for a while. You are from my neck of the woods and I hope to see you around sometime. I enjoy meeting the brats, so if you have nothing to do some day, give me a call and I will buy you lunch.

My contact info is in my photo album, first photo in the album. My cell number is the best number to call or email. This goes fro any C-Brat that is in or is going to be in the Olympia / Centralia-Chehalis area.
