Looking for a bimini top for my Sea Ray 180 bowrider. I want something on the smaller side and since she is in storage I cannot measure. Anyone have any info or suggestions on where to purchase a good one?<br /> EDIT......ITS A 1992 Sea Ray 180 Bowrider

Steve - If you have a marine canvas or upholstery shop nearby I suggest that you have one custom made to get an exact fit. I think you will find that a custom one will be about the same cost.<br /><br />No matter where you buy it I suggest that you get one that has the fitting on the end of the big bow fit into a slide on the gunnel. That way when you want to put the top down you can slide the whole thing aft and get it out of the way.

I agree with SoLittle, take it to a canvas shop. My guy did a custom job with Sunbrella for less than I would have paid at any site or store. Dozens of colors, and any size (within reason) for the same price.

Sea Ray Steve, Do you have the Sea Ray 180 with the fish and ski and outboard? I have this and have questions if you have this model.
