I went with the Dolphin based on the recommendation of another person on here that had the exact setup just in the black powder coated T-top. I also like that the Dolphin is bolted to the floor, not just screwed into the floor like Strykers. After having it installed you could honestly just replace the Stryker floor screws with some stainless steel bolts and get the same exact setup. The Dolphin is 2" anodized aluminum. They have a smaller model that uses the 1.5" tubing as well. It comes with four standoffs for support and is very solid. Ive had it out in the bay in 1-2 foot with strong cross winds and it felt solid. I have not run any wiring through it, but I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to. The Dolphin T-Top actually comes with a really nice 5 rod holder. I just never had a need for it. You can add an electronics box too. I honestly think the Stryker and Dolphin are made by the same place, just marketed separately with a slightly different design. The aftermarket ttops will standoff the center console a few inches more then the factory one. Still have ample room to move throughout the boat.

I will upload some pics this weekend.

If I lived near them, Birdsall might be a good choice. They are a custom shop and those usually want the boat in their possession (they build the top right on the boat).
