I have one.

Needed a folding t-top to fit in storage.....its been great.

I kept it standard and not the Pro model and I'm glad I did.

I purchased the stabilizer bars as well, but haven't needed to install them as the top is solid as-is.

Just curious, what benefit do you see from a TTop on a 20ft Bay Boat? Seems like it would limit casting ability.

I had one on my previous boat. Rock solid and zero complaints. I installed myself but having an extra set of hands would’ve been nice.

They almost always have some deal going with free shipping or a discount.

Just a wild guess, but probably shade.

Shade to cool down, shade to relax in when the fish aren't biting, shade to tell your gf to sit in when she's tired of laying out, shade to ride in, shade to look at your phone in, shade to eat lunch in. Just a guess though.

Also makes you learn to cast better.

Every decision involves at least one compromise.

A whole lot more casting room than a Bimini top. With shade. Not haveing to take down and put up. And added storage

I get the shade part, thats obvious. Ive been on boats with them that were smaller and they seemed more in the way than anything, especially if you have more than 2 people fishing. To me the cons outweigh the benefits on a boat that small.

Just installed one on my zx22. Great top- went with the pro series. It’s solid as can be and pretty simple installation.

Folding is not exactly a super quick process but that wasn’t an every use priority for me.

"Also makes you learn to cast better."
Code for gets in the way when trying to sling baits?
I have fished by them and it looks like a monkey F'ing a football. Add in you can't get them to make the same drift more than once kills the deal.
They are a bit more practical than the poling platfroms in see on 22'-24' bay boats.
