Anybody have experience with Wavestopper or Tartarooga hard dodger manufacturers. Good, bad, easy to work with the company? Thanks for any input on any company. I moor our Hunter 466 in Bremerton, Washington.

Mikem, no experience with the companies. Looking at a dodger for my boat. Been interested in the design of the Iverson. Located in Tacoma. They will be at the Seattle Boat Show.
Why the hard design focus?

It seems to me for those who never take them down, there are lots of advantages for a hard dodger.
Having said that I have only a fabric dodger.

I would love a hard dodger/bimini combo for our boat, but so far I haven't seen a design that would allow full headroom and not look too ugly.
For some reason the soft dodger/bimini doesn't???????????

I worked with Iverson once. They do outstanding work but it pretty much has to be their design. I understand that as they have their name on it. I have a full enclosure with Stamoid material that is now 14 years old. I should get at least two to three more years out of the dodger portion. The aft portion is being redone only because the windows are shot. The hard dodgers done by reputable companies to me look very attractive and have much to recommend them here in the PNW.
