fully enclosed Bimini for an 18SS

[williamk12]

Unfortunately it seems to rain alot when I go fishing....I have the original top with sides for my 1983 18SS, this works fine however, I would like to stand up at times and of course cannot do so. I was wondering if anyone has a fully enclosed stand up Bimini ? if so, how do you like it pros & cons. Was it professionally made or self made ? what would you think one would cost if it was done professionally
thanx for your input.....

My Mariner has a Bimini that I can stand under, I'm 6' 4". Great for fishing in the rain or keeping the sun off. I would think a full enclosure would be hard to fish around. With the bimini and rain gear I'm good.

I know it was professionally made. At one point it probably had the full enclosure based on zippers and snaps.

SWAG tells me your looking at $2.5 to $3K for a shop to make one.

ouch !!! 2.5 - 3000 for custom made, I was thinking more in the line of 4-6 hundred... guess i'll just keep using what I have and in the spring and fall I'll fire up my little Buddy for some heat. Getting soft in my old age.........
