Hi David,

I will take some shots this weekend and email them to you.

Is you location Balintore on the members social list? If so, I can see your email there.

Regards

Jason

Hi Jason,

That looks exactly what I need, I live up in the north of Scotland , so too far to come and take measurements. Could you send some more photos, I have a good workshop so I will probably make one up.

Regards
Dave

Hi David,

I have a Hardy 17 PH with an added roof which is perhaps similar to the one Simon references in his email.

I’m a new HOC member, having bought the boat last weekend - which was marketed as a ‘Hardy 18ft’.
I had it confirmed a couple of days ago as a PH 17 by Hardy Marine (who responded very swiftly to my email), after supplying the serial number: 861, which was manufactured in 1981.

The previous owner told me he bought it with this ‘homemade’ modification, which also has a custom boat cover which fits very well. Photo attached and happy to take and send more photos for inspiration if helpful? - or let you measure up/ take template of roof and cover if needed. Boat is trailered in storage in Bristol, if that is within viable travelling distance for you.

Kind regards

Jason

Hi David,
There is no hard top for that model of Navigator.. the whole wheelhouse needs replacing. However, there are no moulds for the replacement now. The only way you could get a replacement is if you could take a plug off an old wheelhouse side and roof and mould a new wheelhouse. However. I have seen a wooden roof made and wedges fitted on the wheelhouse sides to been the roof up to the height of the grp roof.
Kind regards

I have a Hardy 17PH with a canvas top and sloping sides on the wheelhouse, does anyone know if there is a hard top available for this model or would the complete wheelhouse have to be changed out?
