Hi, I am meeting a guy to tommorrow to make a bimini plus overnight covers/clears for my boat and wondered if anybody had any pictures of what they use or advice, etc on design, etc?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Andrew (from Australia :-)

Andrew, my 260 is currently getting a new mooring cover and convertible top/bimini top made for it. Instead of connecting it to the top of the windshield like the boat in the previous picture, Im having my new top raised up higher above the windshield. About a foot or so. Then there will be a piece of eisen glass plastic that goes from the windshield to the top of the bimini cover that could enclose everything if needed. If I get any pics soon, I will email them. Dan

[B]Hey Dan, I'll be looking farward to seeing your new cover. I need the same thing for my 260 Stinger. Can you let me know who is doing this work for you? I'd like to get in touch with him, Thanks

The place making the cover is Millers Tarp Shop. It is an Amish Family here in Ohio. They do better work than most of the real high end shops around here at less than half the cost. The only negative part about it is you have to take the boat to them and it can take a month or two to get it back. Not a big deal for a trailerable boat, but I had to have my 30' Chris Craft Coho hauled there a couple years back. They dont have a phone either.. lol I'll get pics when I get it back. Hopefully I get it by the end of this month so I can get the boat in the shop and start working on it. The complete convertible top is $750.00. The includes the aft cover, clear side eisan glass, top and frame and front clear eisenglass. The bow and cockpit cover is $550.00 They use sunbrella plus material and Im having them use gortex thread instead of cotton. Dan

Thanks Dan for the update on the top. Love to see pictures of it.The measurements should be the same on the 260 Stingers.Sounds like a good deal.
