Man that actually looks really good on there. Not usually a fan of towers but that one works!

Is the plan to put the radome on top of the soft top or below the tower?

Below. On the hard top. Lots of wiring and details to be completed.

Have you worked out the details of getting up and down? Like to see what that looks like. I do like the look!

Socalmike: Just saw your modification. Fine looking job. Have seen this done to the 35te but this is the first 28te. Will work well for you there is So. Cal. It does indeed look the So. Cal style.

I'd imagine you could just climb onto the front of the hard top. I do wonder if there are additional mods coming to make access more "slick"

I saw that as well. I just prefer to have the tower all up top. I will put a fold down foot step on the side by the albin 28 logo. These are a huge help for us on the west coast spotting kelp and tuna on the surface.

Are you planning on making the controls work or will it be used for spotting with someone below driving?
