An articulated boat top assembly is attached to a conventional boat and operable to be moved between an extended position and a retracted position. The articulated boat top assembly includes a boat top that is secured to the boat via two articulated frame members. The articulated frame members include a series of skeletal components that are pivotally connected to each other. The skeletal components of the articulated boat top assembly include a base member, a pair of middle arms, and a pair of upper arms. The base member includes a pair of legs rigidly attached to the boat deck. The legs of the base member are additionally connected to each other via a stabilizing arm that reinforces the position of the frame members. The skeletal components of the articulated frame members are either in the extended position, wherein each member of the skeletal components is arranged substantially in a vertical alignment with each other, or in the retracted position, wherein each middle arm is at a substantially right angle with respect to the legs of the base member and the upper arms.
