    Default Hard top or soft top??

    I am looking for opinions so give em' to me if you have any.

    I am looking to purchase my first Erie boat and am looking at boats between 23' and 25'. Don't really need a 27' or bigger as it is mostly me and a couple friends. Was wondering what the opinion was on 23' - 25' soft top walk arounds? I spent all last year on a hard top 27' but I have never been on a walk around? Any pro/cons or any advice would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hardtops are nice! But if your tall at all you have to always remember to duck down as alot are shorter than 6ft. The soft tops are generally taller. Another thing about soft tops, they have plastic from windshield to the top and alot of those unless your short in the seat, you have to look thru that plastic. Also with the soft tops, guys like to hang on the closest thing while moving around the boat. Which means the tubes holding up the soft top. But on a nice day, no top at all sure is nice. IMHO

    For me, if the boat is larger a hard top ! If smaller a soft top if in between its up to you.

    I am partial to hard tops however, lots of uses for them.
