late seventies boat width?

   Yes, that sounds familiar.  However, my records went with the boat, so I cannot check to be sure.

The 78 Nautique has a 6'-4" beam.  So, the 6' wide bimini should be perfect.  The mounting points can be pushed in or out a bit without causing mounting problems as the legs of the bimini are flexible enough.  I am 6'-6" tall and the height was not a problem.  In fact, the lower the bimini, the better it works at providing shade for you and not the fish.

	i think 2 winters ago when we restored my '78, if i remember correctly it was 6ft @ the widest part (72"), but i would still hold off until u go & acually get those measurements for yourself, b/c mine is 60 mi. away also & i wouldn't want to have u drill in your deck or order anything incorrectly on my part...

	Hi gang, my 78 SN is 80 miles away so I'm looking for someone that has their late seventies SN at home. I need the measurements of the widest part by the windshield, measurements I need to order a Bimini top. Any help would be appreciated. I think it's around 76".
