Replacement Bimini frame

[rtbarna]

Im am looking for a replacement bimini frame and canopy for a 1999 Hurricane deck Boat 232 FDGS. It's frustrating that I cannot find frames that are all metal. I wish not to have straps for the front and rear connecting points. I cannot get help from local Hurricane dealers because they say after seven years Godfrey doesn't make parts. The 232 model was made through 2008 as the sun deck model. Floor plan identical to it's 1999 predecessor. Any help would be appreciated, boat is in great shape! Storm knocked a tree grazing frame.

Re: Replacement Bimini frame

are you wanting exact frame, or one that is close enough to fit, or can be made to fit?

One that will fit, but I'd like all struts to be metal.

if yyou were close to me, i have a couple frames with metal struts you could have. one set came from a mid 70's viking deck boat
i've found some in local car junk yards..walked in and asked if they had any boats by chance...found a few that way, and scavanged a bunch of parts off of them..couple of the yards said i could have the whole thing if i would haul it off

You can order aluminum or stainless steer tubing (round, square, rectangular) on the internet and make all of your own braces.
