I like hard tops, or at least enclosures. It's nice to stay dry when rough water or rain, stay out of the wind when cold in early or late season, a lot of parkers have full enclosure so they can help keep the bugs out of those days too. But I'm sure the enclosure will be warm. One down fall to hardtops can be clearance issue under some bridges.
Hard top make great mounts for rod holders, radar, big board motors or reels, lights, etc
