Where are you located .... I had mine custom made ... looks better ... more of a "rake" off the windshield .... got the height I wanted as well I added a full enclosure .... make sure you go with stainless as opposed to aluminum frame work .... things to consider when getting a bimini .... are you going run your boat while the top is up? If so you will need additional support bars ... takes the stress off the windshield ..... if not you can get away with your basic "spread frame work" which holds the top in place and use 4 straps to hold in place ....

Something else to consider ... where are you going to store this when not using it ....

I made mine "slightly narrower at the top" of the frame work .... this way I could store it in my engine compartment .... I slid the arms down the bulkheads along side of the engines .... used to nylon straps with quick release clips ... screwed to the backside of the bench seat to hold the top upright ... fits in there perfect .... I always have it with me when I want it ..... I don't have to have it mounted like a radar arch .....

If you are interested in what I did .... I could get you in touch with my canvas guy ... use mine as a template .... you will be all set .....

Good Luck! Let me know if I can help .....

I have one off a 1989 311 I think it's grey. It has stainless hardware but I have no idea what the canvas looks like, since I never took the cover off it. If you are interested I will open it up tomorrow and post pics. Make you a good deal since the boat is long gone.
