North Pacific NP45

[Nocanvas]

It is a very good looking boat. Wait, what is that I see? A little bit of canvas up top. What's up with that Nocanvas?

Cheers!

Lol you got us there.

We came from a Maxum with canvas and hated the plexiglass just hated it but it was a fast boat.

Sometimes we think a hard top what would it look like on the Helmsman. Do we want to add any weight up high. We know the boat can handle the extra weight up there. But then.

Hummmm keeping a low center of gravity all the weight down low (to reduce rolling) , our tender is on the stern ( following seas suck) helps from being top heavy rolling if in rough weather.

Having the tender on the stern allowed us to have a larger tender with center counsel also. But then a hard top would be nice. lol boats are funny everything we do to them has an effect, windage, rolling ect you name it. I'll stop the thread hijack at that sorry. Love the North Pacific beautiful vessels.

You hung your dinghy off of the back of the boat if I remember correctly. How does she feel with the extra weight back there?

Keep the weight off of the top.

On ours the tender will go on top. It weighs 400lbs complete. The tender will not be here for a couple more weeks.
