Dolphin T Tops Pro S2 T-TOP Black Canopy - Quick Release Center

Our review of the Dolphin Pro2 S2 T-Top finds it best suited to anglers and boating owners with mid to large center console rigs who want a strong, low-fuss shade solution that looks high end. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a sturdy 2 in anodized alloy frame with a practical quick-release and folding system, which delivers both durability and easy storage without compromising the boat's aesthetics or deck space.

Key Features

• Quick Release T-Top: The top bimini cover frame can be quickly released for compact storage, saving space when the T-top is not in use.
• Fits Consoles up to 47 in: Designed to match mid to large center consoles up to 47 in wide so it fits a broad range of 18 ft to 25 ft boats.
• 2 in Anodized Alloy Frame: The heavy duty 6063 alloy tubing provides a clean look and corrosion resistance for offshore or coastal use.
• Floor-Mounted Installation: Attaches directly to the floor with four standoffs locking into the console for a rigid, stable fit under load.
• Pivoting Folding System: The main frame folds down via a discreet pivot system, making it simple to lower for clearance under low bridges or for storage.
• Large Grab Handles: Integrated grab handles add safety and convenience for passengers moving about the deck.

Who It's For

The Dolphin Pro2 S2 is aimed at anglers and recreational boat owners with center console boats roughly 18 ft to 25 ft long and consoles up to 47 in wide who want a robust, attractive T-top that installs cleanly to the deck. It appeals to those who value easy maintenance, a fold-down option for storage, and the strengthened support of four standoffs into the console.

Boaters who need a custom-fit, permanent hardtop or who have consoles wider than 47 in should look elsewhere, as this model is optimized for mid to large center consoles within the stated size range and for a fabric canopy rather than a full molded hardtop.
