  Oscar, stop spamming all the messages for a hardtop. It’s not like a Rinker forum member is going to have an extra one laying around.
  
  Look through the dealer network, eBay, wreck removal companies, or go right the the hardtop mfg.

  I don’t think Rinker made a hard top for that year. I could be wrong.

  Now do you have to get the new canvas as well? I could probably modify that for a 280 🤔

  Good find. Is it going to be a direct bolt on when you remove your existing Radar Arch? I cant tell from the pics but is it painted or just primed?

  Oscar1,
  So how did it turnout? Do you have pictures of the newly installed top? I’m thinking of changing my top (once I get my 2012 310 ec)

  Hardtop updated. I was finally able to find someone to paint the hardtop at home, plus I am planing to do installation next week.

  Looking great @oscar1 - 3 panels is the right number for sure. Don’t put a flag on your hardtop, it will crush your wattage! Just one cell shaded briefly is devastating.

  Nice! Now you just need to add a diesel, nothing better than a diesel hardtop. 😁

  Why would there be so many comments on such a perfect statement 😃. 
  
  Seriously though that hardtop is gonna look great. Can't wait to see it on the boat.

  Hardtop installation is done. I still have a lot of work to do,  a litter of fiberglass repair due the mismatch of the previous  bolt holes, electrical plus to order a new customer made enclosure and electronics etc. But who cares about it. It is our boat.

  @oscar1 - Hardtop looks great! You mentioned in another post about shifting weight forward. Your water line looks about the same as mine - and it seems level - though I agree I think the swim platform on the 310 sits too close to the water.  Why do you feel you need to shift some weight? Same reason?

  Yes Tony, it is  for the same reason, plus i notices when my boat is seating at her slip that my water line move out of the water in the bow. I am going to buy a portable plastic 40 gallon water tank to put it under our bed to see how the boat perform prior to commit to permanent one.
