Thank you. I like the look. Is it arttwood or talormade brand. After looking at your boat closely I noticed you cuddy lift door has a cylinder to keep it up...I need that...never been on mine at least no mounting holes I can see. Also don't have little windows on the side. Also would you get me a pic of the underside of you back seat(the storage area). Mine is tore up badly from speaker box removal by previous owner or thief. Its loose and broken and missing upright supports. I can move it around by hand. These are my winter fixes. Thank you helping me out.

I will try to take a pic of the back seat layout next time I'm on the boat. There are vertical braces that run from the floor up the front and back sides to the plastic lip that the cushions sit on.
Post some pics of your boat when you get the chance!

I want to say Thanks, I have a list of things that need repaired and am just trying to get the most important ones taken care of first. Seat supports and mounting down are first along with recovering the bottoms. Its a shame what was done to the boat before i got it. The top is next as we are LOTO boaters and will be coving out alot and have a 5 year old. I will probably start a thread on the updating and repair. I look forward to you and others imput. Got to look into getting pics added so its not just talk.

Hey guys just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents I would seriously look into a good canvas shop and have it custom made for your boat . those ready made universal bimini's are a compromise in every way,...... having splices in the frame, not good,.... to little crown,... alum vs stainless steel ,.... not the right kind of mounts etc, etc, being IN the canvas buisness most of my life I can tell you you'll have a much better bimini.... I can refer reputable shops in your area as I am part of the marine fabricators assoc. and have a directory for the east side of the US. Only the best should go on a VELOCITY

I checked the local places including the ones listed. Nobody around here makes the frame. They all were more than eager to do some stiching though. Prices seemed to be all over the map. Still looking for the best solution. Just got my union vaca check so the boats gettin stereo, top, and rear seat fixed. I think I want to build enclosed sub boxes (jl 10s) into the rear seat bottom as part of the support that is missing. Any way if you have any more bimini ideas... By all means...Post Up.
