Re: DW-SW tops

No real figures, but I would assume a singel wall top is lighter. Single wall tops are more desireable, mostly because of the way they bolt down. I have read that some people have had problems with their double wall tops begining to split and sag. As for strength, I don't know if there is a difference.

Re: DW-SW tops
