I have two pieces of advise on this from my own personal experience.
1) Make sure you really want one. They are always there, and can be in the way if you cast a lot.
2) Stay Away from Fishmaster brand, and understand a custom all welded one will meet your expectations, and most of the kits will not. I have a Fishmaster and absolutely love it. But to each their own.

I also have the "Fishmaster" that I installed myself and have used it 2 years with no problems. My boat 22'-6" and has not been an issue casting for most people. But I use it 85% of the time for sand bass so slabbing doesn't take much casting. It just took me a week to get up enough nerve to drill 16 holes in my floor.

It's the best T-Top for my boat because I can fold it down and put a cover on it as well as transport it. I did a lot of research for my usage and it was the best possible option.

Been contemplating this for over a year now for my boat. I'd be interested in the estimate you get GLove.

I think mine cost a little over $5k. It was already on the boat when I bought it.

I have contemplated mounting a T top to my 2472 seaark but haven't done it yet. For now I just go early or late and wear a fishing hat with a flap on the back to cover my neck. Seemed like a cheaper and easier substitution for now lol. One day I may take the plunge and mount a nice T top on my boat or build one. I have enjoyed reading everybody's post on the subject. I think having the rocket launchers on the back would be a nice substitution to free up the back of my boat where I currently have a rod rack that holds up to 12 rods.
