|

I want to install a so-called Bimini canvas top on my Tomcat 255. King Marine is backed up until the fall-winter. Any recommendations for a ready-made product available locally or purchased online? No need for side curtains, just a cockpit cover for rain and sun, ideally, one that folds back halfway -- Thanks! _________________ Richard Soto

The problem with most mail order Bimini frames is that have to be in multiple sections for packing and the vast majority are aluminum tubing;
There have to be other canvas workers who a get a good sized Stainless Steel frame. See the Bimini and camper canvas on the 2006 tom cat I ownedl. See how you want a zip out panel between the aft cabin top and the first bow of the Bimini _________________ Bob Austin

https://bentleysmfg.com/ in Portland did full enclosure on my tomcat for the original owner. I took it back for some adjustments. They did good work on time and saved me a bunch of $! _________________ Pat Sandfort
