F26 HT bimini cover

Post by cookscomp »

I'm curious about how you guys with the F26 HT sized your bimini tops? Is it best to just have a canvas person do it? Or could I just order a generic size top from a boating store? It looks like it might be hard to go up front with the frame in the way. Is that a problem? I like my hard top but sometimes the little extra shade would be nice. Thanks for your help. By the way Matt your pics in photobucket look great. Paul's Too! Wow! I might post some when it gets warmer.

I reccomend having a canvas shop do it. I had one made with 6'5" headroom and it zips to the hardtop for a removable but watertight fit. Great for hot sunny days or nights with heavy dew.

Oh and have them design it so that when not in use it can fold up and stand vertically toward the stern- out of the way. I can get pics of mine if you'd like.

This was from Pauls Photo bucket. I do like how the rear is in closed all around. Im sure that is nice if it starts to rain.
