Re: Soft tops
Nick,
The stand-up bimini on my boat was made by a shop in Hingham, but I can't remember the name. I think they're in the Hingham Shipyard. The frame is made of SS w/o straps, so it stands on its own when folded. I've read your other posts and from the sounds of it, what I have would not fit your needs. What you've described does sound very tempting though, since it allows for the rod to be held while at the helm. |

Re: Soft tops
Well ... Don ... let's go for it!
You can show-off the 20' Seafari HT (Hard Top) option at the NE Party. The deal is that "no" info can leak until the NE Party. Don, I will call you in a few days to talk the details, .... ROAD TRIP!!! Thanks again for others input and spending my cash! - Nick |

Re: Soft tops
I'll be waiting. Shame it's going to be a covert op's project, I was going to take pictures and post the progress. So others could see the process.

Re: Soft tops
Hey Nick-
I like your idea for that custom bimini/arch top for your boat. I would give Hood Canvas in Amesbury a call. I have seen several of their dodgers and other enclosures and they do exceptional work. The only downside is that they are expensive. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] To give you an idea of their cost & quality.....a custom dodger with a stainless frame, eisenglass window, and leather wraps is around $1300. Who knows...maybe what you have in mind will be somewhat less expensive. Definitely worth a phone call. Good luck. Ed |

Re: Soft tops
Hey Ed,
Thanks for the canvas tip! I decided to go with Don to build me a custom hardtop. Since i am going to miss her for a few weeks, i am tempted to have Don sub-out the canvas work. If the funds are low, i might wait and do it later with someone up in this area. We shall see ..... keep you posted ..... BTW .... Don ....... TEST ...... - Nick |

Re: Soft tops
Well Don, i am ready.
I stripped the boat down (crap, gas, motor, batteries) out to lighten the load. The "OUZO" will be rolling down to NJ on Sat!! (hopefully still on the trailer...) Stay clear!!! - Nick |
