Hello Wolfgang It sounds to me that you have a "Hardy River Pilot 20". Nice boats - a great layout. Enjoy. Best Regards simon.

Hello all HARDY owners, two years ago we bought our Hardy20. Still don`t know the exact type ( two foldable doors to the wheelhouse), but though I`ve changed some parts I love this boat and can`t imagine there`s a better one for us. But the rear softtop makes a lot of troubles-always wet and moldy,worn at the Windows and in a bad condition. Needs replacement. For I`m tired of cleaning every week, I decided to build a rear harttop out of GFK. The form is nearly ready-but I`d like to know if there is anybody else looking for a rear Polyester Roof. In this case the negativ form would be made much stronger. Wish all who understood my english a happy season without rainy days. Wolfgang

I was hoping to do the same on my Hardy 17, replacing the soft top with a fibreglass moulding. Did you get any feedback on your request for information? If anyone else out there has ever done it I'd love to hear from them. Thanks, John

Hello all Hardy boat enthousiasts! For my Hardy 17 from 1979 with a canvas roof, I like to make a polyester roof. Is there anybody who has the experience ? And can anyone tell me more how to start this. Greetz, Ronald
