Polycarbonate plastics have been used in marine applications for many years. For example, most hatches are manufactured with a metal frame into which is set a translucent polycarbonate. Polycarbonates are also used in everything from bullet proof vehicle windows to commercial architecture roofing and siding. Atlantic Towers® is continually seeking ways to bring high quality hardtops to the recreational boating aftermarket at affordable prices. We have taken extruded polycarbonate sheets and combined them with a proprietary custom anodized aluminum extrusion to make a light weight (little more than a traditional Sunbrella top) universal fit hardtop system for virtually every Walkaround style boat. Light weight means that a "Tower in a Box®" polycarbonate hardtop can be added to any Walkaround boat without risk of upsetting the boat's stability, diminishing speed, and without the need for adding fiberglass reinforcement.
The historical product specification describes a universal-fit polycarbonate hardtop system for virtually every walkaround-style boat, designed to add overhead coverage without the weight of a conventional hardtop.
