Default How hard is it to install a bimini?

In the market for a 292 Fastech and it's looking like a lot of them don't have bimini tops. How hard is this to install? I've emailed Robert already but wanted to get everyone elses take on this. Sorry Cuda!

You can talk to TAG at Formula (206.724.1412) and they can give you the spec sheet that gives measurements for all the attachment points. You can also get a hardware kit from Formula that has all brackets and fasteners included. Talk to Robert ... he is the best source for anything Formula.

You will have to install 6 brackets,but no big deal,a diagram with measurements comes with the top kit. Older boats don't have the Starboard panels for under engine hatch storage,later models do. If the boat doesn't already have them,you need those too for storage,but they are pre-cut,not a big deal. Only downside is you will have to put up with Cuda's smart-*** comments.

Robert,

Stop playing on OSO and send me a price for the bimini. Just kidding, I know y'all are busy over there.
