Best T-Tops for Center Console Boats by Stryker
Not every aftermarket t-top is built the same. A lot of what's on the market is lesser quality aluminum alloy tubing assembled to approximate specs with approximate hardware. Stryker T-Tops is different and the difference starts with who builds them.
Stryker is the consumer brand of PW Marine OEM, a production marine fabrication company headquartered in Summerville, SC that has supplied OEM boat builders since 2007. That means every Stryker t-top is engineered and quality-controlled to production-grade standards not just assembled to pass a visual check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who makes Stryker T-Tops? A: Stryker T-Tops are manufactured by PW Marine OEM — a custom marine fabricator based in Summerville, SC that produces OEM-grade stainless and aluminum components for production boat builders including Regal and Aviara. That's the same facility, the same alloy specs, and the same quality discipline behind every Stryker T-top.
Q: What aluminum is used in Stryker T-Tops? A: All Stryker T-top frames are built with 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. This is the same specification used in production boat manufacturing and is significantly stronger than the 6063 aluminum used by many competing aftermarket brands. Hardware is marine-grade stainless steel rated for salt water exposure.
Q: What is the warranty on a Stryker T-Top? A: All Stryker T-Tops carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty backed directly by PW Marine OEM. Because we are the manufacturer, warranty claims are handled by us — not a third-party distributor — with direct, fast communication.
Q: Will a Stryker T-Top fit my boat? A: All Stryker T-top models are universal-fit designs that adjust to accommodate almost any center console with a console unit up to 50 inches wide. Our models include the SG300, SG600, and SG900. Call or email our Summerville, SC team with your boat year, make, and model for a fit confirmation before ordering.
Q: How does Stryker compare to a custom-fabricated local T-top? A: A custom-fabricated T-top from a local shop typically costs more and takes 4–6 months to deliver. A Stryker ships within days, installs in a few hours with basic tools, and is built to the same 6061-T6 aluminum standard at a fraction of the cost. Our parent company, PW Marine OEM, manufactures to OEM standards for production boat builders — the same quality discipline applies to every Stryker. Most customers report that people on the water assume the Stryker is a factory original.
