Does anyone where I might be able to locate a bimini top for my
Baja 174 Sunsport... After looking through Overton's latest catalog
(very small selection) and after attending the boat show in boston
(where they wanted $500-$600 for a custom bimini top), I figured that
it might be a good time to use the power of the Boats notesfile to ask
if any of you guy's or gal's, know who in the Boston/S. NH area might
have a good selection of bimini tops for a reasonable price (ie.
$150-$250)
After last summer, a bimini top seems like a good option to have if
your going to be out on the lake all day, and you are not lucky enough to
have a house on the lake, to come out of the sun for awhile. I'm looking
for something that will stay up at waterskiing speed...
Thanks

Mike,
Have you considered getting a factory (or aftermarket) full canvas?
I know they are a lot more money but also alot more versatile.
The problem with biminis is that they are on RIGID framework and
disassembly requires tools to take them down. (The one's I've seen
anyway.) The full tops just flop down, and are real easy to remove,
not to mention "boating in the rain" capability. Besides, I don't
know how well the bimini would hold up at ~70mph! :^)
I ordered a bimini with my malibu, but have never installed it because
of this "dismantling dilema". (Or maybe I'm still not ready to
drill holes into the gunnels?)
Doug.

I lost my Bimini enclosure (frame as well as torn "canvas") during
hurricane Bob last August. The boat is a Bertram 28FBCII.
Any suggestions for a reputable installer. The boat yard quote is an
unthinkable $3600 for a simple top, SS frames, .040 vinyl sheet,
four "U" curtains.
The boat is located on the Cape so anyone on the south shore/south-eastern
mass would be appropriate.
Thanks for the leads,
Carl
