Looks sharp. I think I want to get away from anything with straps or temporary-looking poles.

Roger that. We don't always have the bimini out. This is what it looks like when we have it folded up to get as much sun as we can when boating on Thanksgiving.

It's not in your area, but Innovation Marine in Sarasota would take on the entire project. They are literally 5 minutes away from PPI interiors and a handful of fabrication shops that do all the T-Tops, towers, etc. for the Fl. west coast builders. One stop shopping.

Robert, holler at Denny Kirkland with Custom Performance in Somerset as far as the rigging etc. goes, give me a shout for his contact info if you dont have it.

You're talking a LOT of work and pretty large range of craftsmanship - fabricated stuff, engine swap, interior, stereo, etc. Barrett Custom Marine in Lake Havasu can, has and does all. It's a haul but realistically, you're boats gonna be down for a long time. Main reason I suggest shipping it to Barrett is AJ is a certified Merc AND Ilmor mechanic. Also does all listed above. And since, advantage is built in Havasu, down the street from Barrett, they are EXTREMELY familiar with that model and have a great relationship with the factory. Food for thought. I'd personally ship it out and turn him lose.

I highly recommend Andy and Mitch at Maryland Offshore performance, they handled my Tiger redo as well as finishing up my 20, they also partner with Justin at waves and wheels and have a shop at LOTO as well as the one in MD.
