Any opinions on these?  I'm looking for a $1000-ish top which leaves out most custom shops.  Fishmaster seems to get good reviews, but I don't think I've seen one or known anyone with one.  The Dolphin looks very substantial, almost like a custom fab, but again - I have no experience with one.



I'd like to get opinions if anyone has these instead of trusting to online reviews.  Thanks!

I don't have any experience with those brands in particular, but from what I've seen on the Sherriff's boats I repair the welds are likely to crack over time. There are no gussets on either of those models which lend to the weld joints flexing and cracking over time.
If you do get one of those units, look into having some gussets welded in where the tubes meet for strength.
