Flybridge Enclosure Recommendation

Post by bjgin »

We had our flybridge enclosed after we added the hardtop. We can't say enough good things about Seebird Canvas in Tarpon Springs, FL. They enclosed the flybridge of our PDQ 34 powercat. It looks great! Erick and Debi, the owners, did everything we asked, even when we would make last minute changes, and they also made excellent suggestions along the way. Their work is exceptional and of the highest quality. And they treat you more like family than customers. On a scale of 1 to 5, we'd give them a 10!!

We constructed our hardtop from construction hurricane class 5, 5/8" polycarbonate honeycomb panels. We used aluminum channels to put it together and support it. The edge was made of 2" PVC and the top of the polycarbonate was painted with white flex seal. This all was attached to the 1" Bimini top supports which came with the boat. All attachment screws and hardware are stainless steel. We got a quote from a company that builds hardtops for PDQs. It was about $11,000. Our total cost for our hardtop was about $1,300.
