Ok well i pulled the trigger and purchased one of the 210 hardtops from JetBoatPilot and cycle springs
I love it! It may not be perfect, but it is damn close and considering all that i added it still was able to work how i had liked
I put a garmin radar, vhf 8’ antenn, xm radio antenna, spotlight and my jl audio tower speakers on it
It looks great! And i also purchased and installed the backrests for the jump seats, a sun shade system and the cushions for the swim platform
Very very very happy! Looks awesome! My only complaint is i had to leave town for the weekend so my wife will be using her for the firstime!

Very very nice! what Is the weight of the hardtop? Do the seat backs disconnect from the center seat and come out easy? Where did you get the cushions for the swim platform? Thanks. It looks great nice job! I like the sunshade also, but prefer them in white they stay cooler. They don’t look as good but there do stay cooler to the touch. But then Again I don’t have a nice sunshade on my FSH I move around a red umbrella, so I should keep quiet.

Super nice! Who made the back rests for your rear jump seats? They look killer.
Also, who made the carbon poles for your shade?

The jumpseat backrests come off very easy
They are pinned to the leaning post rear leg and just slide into the rod holder on the outside
I dont know the exact weight of the hardtop but having installed it and un installed the factory one it isnt that much heavier

Wow that is nice, but the cost is keeping me from installing that HT on my 2019 FSH 210, just cant justify the cost verse reward for myself, but it does look really nice on that boat :)

My trouble with it is I can’t see myself spending nearly 10% of the cost of the boat to add this. I’ll end up making one that bolts on the existing frame for about $500, but not until the current soft top is no longer useable.

Keep in mind it is not made of fiberglass or it would heavier. I think they did a good job concept wise but that is steep price for the upgrade, and I am trying to keep my 210 FSH as simple as possible and the top that came with my boat works just fine, we will take it off for the winter and clean and store it inside with the windshield so as not to have it crack with the cold temps in NJ

Maybe someone can make a simple folding hard top that can be removed and stored easily. It's ok to say it's a dumb idea.
