Re: Convertible top frame Planns

Depends on what you consider simple, first off you will need a good quality sewing machine, and I don't mean a $400 unit from Walmart or Target. My personal preference are the Kenmores and Singers from 30 years ago. Using a lesser quality machine will end up costing alot in broken presser feet, needles, arms, and motors.

You will also need to get your hands on a quality tubing bender as well for doing the framework.

As for plans, you would need to provide measurements and details about your boat, things like what type of mounting hardware it uses? slides, pivot mounts, etc.
