Carolina Skiff Elite T Top – Custom Boat T Top

Custom Fit for a Carolina Skiff 21 Elite

We built this Carolina Skiff Elite T Top for a 21 Elite Series center console. The frame uses 1.5″ marine-grade aluminum pipe, so it stays strong and light. We kept the legs tight to the console, which opens up the deck and makes it easy to move around. A black Sunbrella® canvas top matches the boat and gives solid shade on hot days.

Standard Features for Everyday Use

Our custom T tops come standard with four rod holders, Sunbrella canvas, an anchor light, and installation at our Wilmington, NC shop. The rod holders keep extra rods rigged and off the deck. The anchor light mounts on top of the canvas so other boats can see you at night. Because we wire the light through the frame, the wiring stays clean and protected.

Radio Box, Life Jacket Storage, and Lights

This Elite Skiff T Top also received a fiberglass radio box, life jacket storage, and LED spreader lights. The radio box is not just for radios—it’s also a great spot for your wallet, keys, and small gear that you want to keep dry. Life jacket storage mounts under the top and holds up to five vests, so passengers can grab one quickly. In addition, the LED spreader lights shine across the deck at night while drawing very little power.

Canvas Colors and Finish Options

Black canvas is the most popular choice; however, we offer many other Sunbrella colors. When you drop off your boat, you can look over our color wheel and choose the shade that fits your rig. This top uses an anodized aluminum finish, which holds up well in salt water. If you want a different look, you can also choose a powder coated T top in white, black, or other colors.

More Custom Options

Many customers add extra rod holders, outrigger plates, or boat spray curtains to build a full weather package. We can also point you to our Custom Canvas T Top product page if you want to price out a new build. Because we fabricate each top by hand, we can adjust height, width, and layout to match how you fish.
