I saw the pic below in a C-Brat album. I have never seen a hardtop on a 22 before. Are there any other more detailed pics of this or other hardtops? Thanks.

can't comment on where you might get one of these, but will say that is one sweet hardtop. i never did like the bimini top, it was a pain getting in and out of the cockpit onto the dock. this hardtop looks high enough, not to be a problem and equally like the ability to store a dinghy on top of.
good luck with your search, well worth the effort.

I believe there was someone who had one custom fabricated and this pic may be from that previous discussion. Also, at one time I asked the previous C-Dory factory owners if it were possible to buy just the cabin roof to be modified for a cockpit cover (it's about the same length). At the time they indicated that was possible since it's made in a separate mold. Don't know if the current owners (Triton Marine) would do one for you but you might contact them to find out. I think they are looking for paying projects to keep the staff working as seem to remember they recently indicated that they would do gel coat and fiberglass repairs.
 
The boat in the picture has Alaska registration number and is sitting at the Whittier East ramp, have never seen that boat. The ramp went in last year so must be a resent picture; really like that hardtop. Perhaps Nor’easter’s owner can shed some light.
For up here a hard top over the cockpit would be nice.
 
I built a hardtop for the 'Nancy H'.

After ten years, I made a new top for the then existing SS parts.

For the BAbt boomers that have taken in to much fun and sun this would be a very nice option

The Rossboroughs had them as options I don't know if they still do but I've seen a few and they work great just pull down sidecurtains and instant extra room and no need to replace sunbrella top every 4-5 yrs especially down here in Fl.
