Best T-Tops for Center Console Boats by Stryker
Our boat t-tops fit on almost any center console boat made in the last 50 years or more. All boat t-tops by Stryker feature an adjustable width so they can fit around console units up to 48 or 50 inches wide depending on the model. The adjustable feature does not compromise strength or performance in any way. In fact, Stryker's aftermarket boat t-tops are as solid as custom fabricated or OEM t-tops but are much more affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are boat T-tops universal or boat-specific?
Stryker T-tops are "universal" which means they are not made for specific boat models. Our T-tops have an adjustable footprint which allows the upright leg sections to move in or out before securing everything down. You select a model based on:
- Your boat's center console width
- Flat deck space next to console (for leg mounts)
- Desired features (folding vs. fixed, tubing diameter, etc.)
Can I install it myself, or do I need professional help?
Yes! All our T-tops have been designed to be DIY-friendly with basic tools and 2 people.
- Most customers install their T-top in a few hours
- Stryker offers detailed installation instructions and installation videos
- You can also opt for a professional marine service shop if preferred
How long does installation usually take?
- On average: 3–5 hours with two people
- No welding is required — all assembly is done with included clamps and hardware
- We have detailed downloadable installation guides with step-by-step instructions
- Our knowledgeable sales and support teams in South Carolina are available by phone and email 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday excluding holidays
What's the warranty coverage?
Stryker offers:
- 5-Year Warranty on the T-top frame (materials and craftsmanship)
- Coverage includes weld failures and structural defects
- Details available in warranty documentation
How durable is the canvas shade against UV exposure, saltwater and mildew?
Stryker T-Tops use Sunbrella™ Plus marine-grade fabric, which is regarded as the best in the industry:
- UV-resistant
- Fade-resistant
- Mildew-resistant
- Breathable to prevent moisture trapping
It's one of the most trusted marine fabrics, backed by a long-standing reputation and endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
What finishes do you offer and what are the differences and benefits of each?
For all T-top models and selected accessories, we offer a choice of either a high performance marine-grade anodized finish or a premium powder coated finish. Both options provide excellent protection against corrosion and harsh environments.
- Anodized Finish: Sealed aluminum, marine-grade, highly corrosion-resistant. Essentially clear, revealing the aluminum's natural look.
- Powder-Coated: Durable, UV-protected, electrostatically applied and heat-cured. Available in gloss white and gloss black.
The SG900 T-top comes in an optional QuickSilver powder coated finish instead of anodized.
Can I add rod holders, lights, speakers, or antennas to it?
Yes! The best part about Stryker T-Tops is that they are highly customizable. We have a diverse line of accessories available from Stryker that can be clamped or mounted directly to the frame.
Popular accessories include:
- Rod holders
- Electronic boxes
- Lights
- Speakers
- Universal mounts for antennas
- Plus many other accessories
Will it rattle or make noise when running offshore?
No. When installed properly, Stryker T-Tops are extremely solid and quiet. Some key features include:
- Solid billet aluminum joints
- Secure clamping systems
- Standoffs that secure leg sections to the center console
If properly torqued and supported, no rattling should occur.
Does it fold down or collapse for garage storage/trailering?
The Stryker SG600 is our dedicated folding T-top. This is a popular model for those storing their boat in an enclosed structure with lower height clearance like a garage, passing under low bridges, and for trailering. Folding the SG600 is simple and quick, especially with our optional quick-release knobs:
- Loosen front bolts
- Remove rear bolts
- Tilt the T-top forward toward the bow
How much shade coverage will it actually provide?
Shade coverage depends on the model, but all offer generous protection centered around the helm with extra coverage hanging over the deck rearward.
- SG300 canopy: 6' 3½" × 5' 3"
- SG600 canopy: 6' 10" × 5' 1"
