That's a difficult website. Could not find ss marine fittings on there. Where are they?

It *can* be challenging to navigate the website. I usually go with a keyword search, e.g. "stainless hinge". The interface takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple.

Charlie,

McMaster Carr doesn't really stock "marine fittings" per say but they do stock a lock of different hardware that can easily be used for marine applications - chain, stainless fittings and hinges, even cleats. However, you won't find the full range of marine fittings that you would find at a marine supplier.

Finished installing the Bimini except for some adjustments. The new 1" SS is much better than the old 3/4" aluminum. Total cost so far $35 for the "skin", $320 for the bows and probably $200 or so for all of the SS fittings.

Since the bows are one piece, it was kind of a pita to put the skin on it but since it'll not be taken down until I have to replace the skin, I endured. The old Taylor bimini cost about $550 I think, this one is much better.

Eventually, I'll have our local canvas maker come down and measure for sides/screens, etc and have him fabricate the remaining new skin as a full enclosure to replace this one.

I have all of the old "plastic" bimini fittings for 3/4" tubing if anyone wants them.

Not yet Roger, I want to get the adjustments done before I do. Will get some detailed pictures though when I do and post them here.

I have a custom, fixed bimini top, with full camper back from a 22 Cruiser.
I took it off Bettie's Bateau.
It is located in California near lake Tahoe open to offer or trade. Camper Canvas is like new and bimini is ok.
send me a message if interested.

Too bad you didn't tell us that you wanted to take that Cantilever top off--we would have either traded for an excellent condition standard Bimini, or a fair price before you had the boat hauled to Calif.

I wonder why you would want to take that off? It was a work of art! Shipping to get it anywhere will be costly...But it is well worth it--one of the best tops made for a C Dory!



That is a "jungle Gym", to swing aboard with--no obstructions for fishing... covers all of the way back.

If not sold by Christmas--and we would have some way to get it without going over 3500' elevation (my limit with oxygen)--we may be interested...Don't know how it would fit on my Yukon--but maybe?

Too bad I don't have a bigger truck. I could have one of the California brats bring it up to our upcoming Snake/Columbia River run, I grab it, then bring it down to Hontoon in March. But I suspect it's too much for my 5.5' bed, and no where to store it over winter... That is a nice unit! Colby

I noticed most of the camperback threads are quite old and prices are dated. Since I am budgeting again for a new boat I have updated pricing from King Marine in Seattle at $3048 for a 22' Cruiser.

https://www.kingmarinecanvas.com/cdoryboats.html

It's one thing that I never did on my old boat, but would prioritize on the new boat.

The Cantilever top in the photo above is what I would want for my 22’ Angler!
Does anyone know if that was a custom build or if it’s available from a company?

That was a custom build. And still is a "one of a kind".
