Enticer's Boat ...What Do Say Now CUDA Ya Bimini Hate Monger?
 

enticer

I am at 70 MPH..

Enticer great boat :D

That is exactly what I am looking for! The enclosure will offer up more boating season here in Michigan.

With your permission I am going to send the picture to my canvas guy.

Brad

No, problem.............hope it helped....if you got the my website, it has a few more pics of the enclosure

Thanks Nort.

Phantom:
I am getting 1" as well and have decided to stay with red. I noticed no straps. Am also having sides and front done with screens for overnighting. Little cramped in a 25 but what the hey. On the water.

Just wondering, do you remember what it cost you for the bimini and the canvas package?

Live Wire II.....to whom are you addressing the question?

TTT....we all love Bimini's!! :D :D :D (just for you Cuda)

Thanks Norty.

I think a bimini top on a performance boat looks about as natural as John Wayne riding side saddle on a horse!:mad:

I agree, but it is better than skin cancer.;)

Enticer, I get down to Tome's also. I'm looking for a top and encloser like yours, just wondering about the cost.

That one cost me $2600.00, custom made in Florida, where I purchased the boat. At the Miami Boat Show 4 years ago

That's why I were Spf 50 sunscreen liberally applied. Besides, I don't see the skin cancer killing me before this three pack a day habit of mine.:(

Kanookstr has these latches on his boat and top and they look great and will not snag you whenyou go by. They are available from Eddie Marine and also at Cabella's with a round adapter to attach to tubes if the cotter pin system does not work.

I wear sunscreen as well, but in havasu you spend a lot of time in the water. I don't feel like having to re-apply the stuff every hour. My Doc said either stay out of the sun, or re-apply everytime you get out of the water.:(


I ordered a Bimini over the weekend. Similar to Nort's, all 1" stainless custom made to fit the boat. I was told it would be good to about 75 mph.:cool:

GLH

Looks like a good idea
Going to ck. them out.

Steve

There are more old boaters than there are old doctors!:D

75 MPH better get that in writting that seems fast with a top. Most I have heard was 40 mph max but what do I know.
You might want to consider a homing beacon for it also it will be easier to find at the bottom of the lake with it. :D:D:D

After seeing Glh in Miami, I'm awarding him a special one time only Bimini Exemption Status. He needed it!:D

:D :D

Thanks GL for the heads up that is exactly what I'm looking for!

He said if I went with straps that it would only by good to about 35 mph, If I went with all aluminum about 45-50, but with the 1" stainless 70-75 mph.

He has built a few so hopefully he know what he is talking about. If not the other 1/2 will be jumping in the water trying to save it.:D

I am trying to get the same retieval system for stuff that goes overboard, up to now I still get the f-u look.

I was so psyched to go out for the first time on the new rig that I didn't care of anything else. Besides Anchor Shades rule! Bimini's are great for Sea-Rays and only look cool on Sunseekers over 45 ft! :D

I make boat covers in Michigan and I also custom bend bimini tops. I have not used 1" too much. I do use 7/8" S.S. tubing and it works great on offshores. Some good cutomers use thier's and they work fine up to 45 or so. Let me know if you have any other questions....
