LARRY;

You can order the frame from the forum store. call me back as you will need to advise the year of the boat which is important. I know who makes that frame.

The frame is bent in angles to accommodate that pop top enclosure which is why many are unable to make it as they do not own a tube bender .

Larry... If you are making your own you may want to consider a way to make the "arch" collapsible. I have not yet found a good way to store it when not in use. Not sure if anyone has done such a mod before.

Try The Canvas and Upholstery Centre in St. Augustine. Hunt Bowman is building me a Pop Top Cover for my 2008 H25. He may have the size specs for yours.
I'm designing my pop top with two arch pipes and a window in front. The idea is to have a quasi dodger so one can lower the hatch and sail away. Wondering if anyone else has built something like this.

Andre,

Please share pics of the H25 pop top once you get it. I've been waiting for someone to have one made.

I added some plastic clips to the top of the rear berth and store the frame clipped in so it lies flat against the top out of the way. Works great, never in the way. I can try to get some pics if that sounds confusing.

Hey Dave, I don't see the frame for sale on the Hunter site. I have the same situation. I have the top, but no frame.
