Hi, I need to enclose the cockpit of a 26X for San Francisco Bay. First, can the hatch be converted to a pop top? Secondly the steering pedestal has been removed and wheel is on starboard cockpit bulkhead and I need to be out of the sun. Considering making cockpit bimini and sides out of foam core/ply instead of canvas...
This boat will only be used as a power boat, rig and sails might be available
Cheers
