The Flipper 700 has four different original canopies depending on when the boat was manufactured.
The first generation was manufactured until 31/12/1977.
The second generation was manufactured between 1/1/1978 and 5/9/1979.
The third generation was manufactured between 6/9/1979 and 1985.
The fourth generation was manufactured from 1985.
Generations 1–3 have roll-up sides as standard, while generation 4 has removable sides. It is also possible to choose removable sides on Gen 2–3, but not Gen 1.
One way to tell if you have generation 2 or 3 is to see where the bow mounts are located on the boat. On Gen 2, the mount is on the wooden railing, while on Gen 3, the mount is on the side. See example pictures.
