Bimini for the stoker

[Cgrohe223]

I've made a few calls today to Custom Canvas in Montclair CA and A-1 Canvas in Upland CA. The boat never had one so therefore I would be needing the whole set up, for aluminum one color on the top im looking at 650-700 ish they say. If I'm going full stainless which is what I was shooting for I was told that would be around 950 and single color, is this a fair price for a set up I'm just curious.

Do a mesh fabric. It will give you shade and allow you to run a little faster with it up. Also it will breath. Believe it or not the canvas will hold heat. The mesh breaths and will be cooler underneath. Darker colors are cooler as well. They dont allow the light in so you stay cooloer. My black EZ up is cooler underneath in the sun than a white one is

I was thinking white mesh on the outsides with small grey stripe around the red center stripe almost like my interior is set up.

Ya may be a good idea since white does tend to get dirty.

Our boat has similar interior to yours. The bimini is white on the sides for about 14" then it has a grey stripe that's about 8" wide, then a dark grey stripe about 8" wide then that burgundy color in a stripe about 12" wide, then the dark grey, light grey stripes and white again. I don't have pictures sorry.

I just found this on google after a quick search, it's the same bimini I was talking about.

I had the mesh and did not like it. Way too much sun and heat for us.
I went back to the normal canvas.

That's the downside with mesh. Allows much more suny rays through. Give up a few MPH and protect the skin.

I called martinez marine and they referred me to this guy Eric in upland that does their bimini's. He came to the house took measurements went over colors and all at the house, took a little longer then what he said but came out good with a matching cover.

Custom Canvas, second to none. Great service, and bad ass tops. Just had them do one for my 21RT Schiada. I went big, I like shade so it cost more then your being quoted. So I would say yours in line with what it should cost. Ron (I believe is the owners name) was awesome to deal with and I was more then happy handing him my money. :thumbsup Type of people you like doing business with.
