I own and operate Silver Cove Marine, which is an inboard boat restoration, service, and sales facility located in Mooresville, North Carolina. We specializes in Nautiques and Correct Crafts, and also provide general service for Nautiques fifteen years old and older.
If we can be of service to you, please contact us anytime!
I have had one for a year also, and have had 0 issues. That being said, I did have to cut the aluminum tubes that the side ball mounts go in down. Mine is on a 05 210, and I have a "Narrow" Aviator Pro. I'm not sure if they have a "Narrow" Version of the Shadow top or not, I really didn't care, it took 5 minutes to make the cuts. Also, only 2 of my support bars fit at one time. The rear 2 were too short after installing the long front 2 bars. I actually think the front 2 bars are too short after looking at Jeff's. I let Roswell know, but they never did anything about it. I might see if I can get some longer tube from them one I get the boat out this year.

Steve is there a slit down the middle? Do you have a photo from underneath looking up at it?
It helps with walk through, and also with detaching the support bars if you need to fold your tower. It also can let some sun in the center if you want that.
Do these fit the FCT5 tower? Does it fold up quickly? I have a 2011 230 Team Edition. Roswell has one for $999 (it is the last one and has a bit of wear on it).
It doesn't fold, but it tilts. you take the pins out of the front and rear bars and it will tilt on the center point. You only need to do that when folding the tower. If you are trailering its just easier to take the cover off and leave the frame attached with the bars. I have towed it up to 50 mph with the fabric on for a few miles and had no issues, but would do it for more than that, or faster either.
