That is the same year and make of my boat but not the same model. Do I need to have one custom made?

When we got our Seaswirl, it came with a standard Bimini top. The dealer told us we could get all kinds of OEM attachments for the sides and front that actually makes the boat into a sort of camper.

He said for a fraction of the cost we could contact a local canvas man who could custom make an additional top. He used Sunbrella fabric identical to ours and standard aluminum struts, and it a cost little over $600. It has been well worth the cost.

Where are you located? There is great place in Southern California that can make one like that. They did it for me.

Yup, a custom shop is probably going to be your only resource, depending on the boat.

Do some comparison shopping. I have a friend that does this sort of work and even though he's my friend, I think he charges way too much. I hate to say it, but I wouldn't buy canvas from him, for that reason. There are plenty of people around who can custom bend the framework and assemble the canvas, including straps, snaps, hooks, etc.
