 Topic: Bimini Top with StripesPosted: November-02-2009 at 11:13pm |

In the Barts, Overton's and other catalogs the only choice for a bimini top is a solid color. My 1984 has lots of stripes in the interior, so a bimini top with those stripes would look awesome! I see many boats from California having the striped bimini's! Most match the pattern within the boat's interior! Where do they get those from? I would appreciate any help in locating a place that offers these tops! Thanks for any help!

Tower Biminis' has some of the better looking ones out there. They can custom build whatever you want with your choice of patterns and colors. That's were I went for one on my new boat and really like it.

Scott...You may need to utilize the services of a custom marine upholstery shop to get exactly what you need. I am sure Minneapolis has plenty of good shops. If you ever get down to Milwaukee, I like Kendor Marine which is not too far from the airport.
They have a great upholstery shop. I have been buying vinyl and other supplies there as I am redoing my boat interior currently. They have an unbelievable selection of colors and fabrics. Kendor Marine |

Very helpful! Keep the ideas going! Are the custom jobs that much more expensive? Tower has a cool site! All Correct Crafts!

Scott,
Have had a couple Bimini's done with stripes over the years, most any good shop can do it for you. Be sure you lay out exactly what you want, dimensions, colors, etc. Joel (M3Fan) has always recommended GMI Top Design for standard Bimini's. We currently have a Tower Bimini, great product for tower mounting, no experience with their hull mounted versions. |

That's because they have style! A nice tight striped bimini can really add to the looks of a sleek ski boat. |

Hollywood- just making sure you know he is talking about a bimini cover and not a bikini on the boat!

We had a local shop do one for our 206...... they repeated the swirl on the the engine box........... looks great and wasn't that big of an up-charge (your actual mileage may vary)...
Check out signature pic and diaries....... Air 206 Bimini Pattern |

Skicat, you maybe right! A bimini and a bikini matched with a Correct Craft might be as close to Nirvana as you could get! I can appreciate that response! There may be a day that it becomes a reality, somewhere?!
Thanks for adding to this discussion! |

I love the way your boat looks with the matching bimini! Very much a one-of-a-kind look! |

It's kinda hard to see mine, but it too matches, but has a different pattern than AIR206's. I ordered mine from Tower Bimini and got it in about 6 bus. days. |
