T-Topless T-Topless
Solves the center console dilemma ...

The T-Topless and Montauk-T-Topless combine the fishability, convenience and storage of a T-Top with the ability to lower (or remove) the top in seconds to store the boat or RIB in your garage, shed, short dry stack, or under a boat cover. Storage at home can save you $2,000-$6,000 per year in storage fees = $20,000 to $60,000 savings over an average 10 year ownership!

The top installs in less than an hour (drill NO holes), and eliminates the need for annoying Bimini frames and straps which hamper access around the boat An integrated navigation light allows for evening cruises and optional rod holders get your rods up out of the way!

USPTO Patent Pending
T-Topless Up & Down Drawing
Lowers in seconds

Pull 2 quick-release pins and rotate forward, below the windshield grab bar height in 30 seconds or less. Or remove the 2 front pivots and unplug the splash-proof lighting connectors to take the top off for fly-fishing or a ride in the sun!


In Garage
To fit in your garage

The T-Topless lowers below windshield height on most boats and RIBs, to fit in your garage, a shorter dry stack, under bridges, or to store with a standard boat cover. It even helps keep a boat cover from sagging and collecting rain water.

Yacht owners can lower or remove the top to store their tender RIB below decks on the yacht.


Stable at speed (65+mph!)

Rotate Down Installs in minutes

... and lowers quickly

The T-Topless and Montauk-T-Topless install on the windshield grab bars of your center console boat or RIB in less than an hour without drilling any holes in the floor of your boat.

There are currently 9 models and widths of T-Topless and Shadow to provide a semi-custom fit on most center console boats. Click here to look up your boat model.
