A big part of our innovation is the ability to easy fit your prefab cabin onsite to your specific boat. Simply lay the supplied track according to your vessel’s bow shape and dimensions, slide in the bottom section of the canopy, attach the top section of the canopy and watch how it conform to accommodate your vessel. The way the fabric pieces are designed, cut, and constructed allow the canopy to adjust to various bow shapes with ease.
The ELEMENT is the first and only prefab instant cabin that fits virtually any center console boat without the need for expensive customization. It functions as a complete shelter with the ability to be transformed as a fully closed, weather-tight cabin, allowing it to accommodate boaters for overnight stays aboard. You can turn your day trips into weekend adventures! In contrast, old fashioned bow dodgers, Bimini tops, and boat covers are not weather-tight cabins. They cannot protect you from harsh weather or mosquitoes and other flying insects, nor do they provide adequate airflow in an enclosed space.
