Very cool looking! Why the diamond plate on the outside side? Does it create much drag?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Never heard of anyone complaining about extra drag. I imagine if any, it would be insignificant. We went with it for a couple reasons....it helps to hide/resist scratches, and it looks cool  8)

Not sure. I didn't get a chance to call them today. Originally it was supposed to be done the first of the year. Need to call them tomorrow and see how far out we are.

Full canvas top. I like having the ability to remove completely while out on the water if the wind kicks up.

Spoke with Chuck yesterday. He said ~7 days in the rigging shop and then 2 days to build the top. Probably looking like the last week of this month  :IBCOOL:
