In order to keep the red headed admiral from roasting, we are adding a bimini top. I have added them to all of our previous boats by ordering online, mostly from Overton's which was a Mom & Pop owned waterski place. They have since been purchased by Gander Mountain Sports and have changed a bunch of things. One of those things is that they no longer carry the brand I was getting. The issue is not the brand, but rather the size we need. We rail mount them, so width needs to be 67"-72", height 36" and length no more than 48". An aluminum frame is fine, we are in fresh water. Besides, the top is really for shade only and being rail mounted and only 4' long does not require a huge amount of support.

There is no point in trying to go the custom built route here, there is only one person in the area that does such things and it takes several months to get his attention. Besides, I refuse to spend $1000.

I have done the Google search several times and can only find one manufacturer, TaylorMade, that has a top this size. The price is excellent, however the top is not available in Sunbrella, only their "Hot Shot" fabric in Pacific Blue. I don't know anything about Hot Shot.

Anyone have any experience with another source?
