I'm currently working on getting quotes to build a bimini for my 22zx. I have never had one built before and don't know what a decent price will be. It will be approx 6' long by 78" wide. I want to keep it prettly low at around 36" high. Aluminum frame with SS fittings. How much should I expect to pay? thanks

I paid $1500.00 in 2007 for my bimini top. All polished stainless steel frame and fittings with sunbrella fabric. The price also included a zippered cover for the top. After three years of use, it has held up very well.

800-900

The one we had custom made for our 20' Hydrostream last year, was $600 installed with custom boot, and stainless steel fittings.
The Stainless steel one we have on the Nordic came with the boat, but I think that the stainless steel frame is another $300-400
Hope this helps.

I'm assuming you want a bimini because you'll be using it while you're running, however if it merely something to use at anchor then an Anchorshade will do the trick much cheaper.

Tried that, not very stable and a pain to set up. I've got a guy thats getting back to me on Mon morn. I'm hoping to hear around $600. We'll see.
