There'll be a couple of venders at the boat show. I think there are a few down that way. I looked at some last year and they looked really good, but pricey.

boatless................can I have a ride?

MJ didn't you consider having the soft stuff remade?

I got a great canvas contact here thats done a few jobs for me.
Super work and very reasonable.

Personally I like NOT having a top over me all the time, (I love having the sun on me) but when its really hot the bimini is great, then when its really cold, the enclosure makes it very comfortable inside even with out the back.

Just wondering........Good Luck

There were a couple of guys at the Providence boat show last weekend. Your probably looking at 4-5K with canvas drop downs. I think a new Sunbrella enclosure is under a grand.

Thanks everyone!!

Yes Van I had thought about having the soft top replaced, but I don't like the style so it will have to all be redone!
Best price i have found around here with Bimi and 3 sided enclouser is $2500 maybe a hair more after I tell the guy what I want?

So for that cash I thought about a hard top, I am so confused! I see good and bad in both. But I am leaning heavy to the hard top.

If I could get a hard top for $3K I could wait a bit for the enclouser.

I have to make up my mind fast!! I have the soft top guy on hold but he wont last long.
