Charleston, SC June 29, 2009 -- RNR-Marine, Inc. announced the release of its patent pending SHADOW and MONTAUK-T-TOPLESS products. These two products are based on the T-TOPLESS, which entered production in March 2008.
The SHADOW is a lower cost, lighter version of the T-TOPLESS, providing protection from the elements for center console boats in the form of a tee-top which mounts directly to existing
structure in a center console boat (drill no holes) in minutes, and raises or lowers in seconds, allowing the boat to be stored in a garage, short dry stack, or under a boat cover, saving
the owner $2,000 to $6,000 per year in storage fees. The SHADOW'ss universal design fits 90% of the center console boats on the market today, available online (www.ShadowTop.com (http://www.ShadowTop.com)) and ships for free to the continental United States. The all stainless
SHADOW top provides shade and all around access for your center console boat. It installs in minutes (drill no holes), ships for free and saves $2,000-$6,000 per year in boat storage
fees. said Ross Johnson, RNR-Marine'ss president. It is sturdy stainless steel, and has been tested at up to 65mph (Video at 65mph (http://www.youtube.com/watchv=HXLT42GYh1I)).
Due to popular demand, RNR-Marine designed and began producing the MONTAUK-T-TOPLESS in August 2008. The Montauk-T-Topless is a variation of the T-TOPLESS designed specifically for the
popular Boston Whaler's8482; Montauk's8482; and Dauntless's8482; series boats. said Johnson. It is designed for the Whaler'ss lower grab bars and provides clearance for fishing rods which
fit in factory rod holders on the front of the Whaler'ss center console.
The SHADOW, MONTAUK-T-TOPLESS and T-TOPLESS allow boaters to have the advantage of a T-Top providing shade and 360-degree access around the boat. The folding feature allows the owner to
garage their boat, saving hundreds of dollars per month in storage fees. This amounts to $20,000 to $60,000 savings over an average 10-year boat ownership. said Ross. These tops make the
boats more 'sfishable's than a traditional Bimini type top, while home storage provides security, protection from storm damage, reduced insurance and immediate availability for use.
Manufactured in South Carolina from sturdy, orbital welded 304L and 316 stainless steel, these tops have been refined and tested for six years, and are much stronger, durable and longer
lasting than traditional aluminum tee-tops. The frames are topped in a various colors of Sunbrella's8482; UV-resistant marine canvas.
