Default bimini top on cigarette boats

because of the sun that is kind of deadly in thailand, i need to put a bimini top on the ,,top banana,, i hate these tops because the look so ugly (a1 and a2 pics) and take away the lines of the boat any one knows any designs that look better?
i like the kind of style in picture a3 but not easy to make.

SEAT Boats in Pattaya did my covers, all custom measured stainless and Sunbrella. Good quality work but Sunbrella is not cheap here. I doubt you can buy anything nice 'off the rack', it either won't fit or it will look plain ugly. All covers look a bit ugly to me but you have no choice living in the tropics.

Design it yourself, draw it accurately and get a quote from SEAT Boats in Phuket. I'm sure they do all the same stuff as the Pattaya office don't they? Watch them closely on the work, they had to change a few things during the fit on mine but overall, a pretty good job.

That green stripe on your boat looks good. Is that tape/masked off for painting or is it permanent?

Please post pics of cover, I am tossing around the idea.
