What are hard tops worth?

I have a 10 and a 12 footer that I might sell. Both are in good shape.

I don't think they're in high demand. I took the 10' hardtop off my pontoon and turned it in for scrap. I think I got $60 or so back in 2007 when I did it. But, it's may be worth a try if you sell them cheaper than somebody can buy a new cloth bimini.
And......are you in an area with lots of pontoon boats? You're most likely to sell only if someone can pick it up locally as they're pretty hard to transport any great distance.

Personally...I was glad to get rid of mine as it was just a big sail when the wind blows, and I don't have any extra HP to spare on my toon.

I think I will keep them, I might even want to put on both of them at the same time. Also my daughter might want to borrow one.

pretty sure it's a $2,000 option these days.

which means they're worth about $10 when you try to sell one. :(

scrap prices suck now. aluminum used to be 80 cents or more a pound,
last week it was 15 cents up here. they'll take steel off your hands
for free as long as you haul it!!
