We have considered a hard top but thought they would be more expensive. You mentioned that the quote didn't sound too bad, that's the kind of information we need, we had no clue as to how much they cost. We don't mind spending that amount if that's the going price. I will check out prices on hard tops, thanks for your input.
Turner: Before making a decision, I’d call Marine Liquidators in Ft. Pierce, FL. My last trip over there, they had dozens of clean take-offs and factory close-outs in lots of colors. Your size is not that rare.
On mobile so can't see your location - where are you?
I just emailed them the specs of what we need. Thanks for the referral.Northstar Products is a great company to use. You can access them online and order or call them. They have stock and custom work. I ordered two different ones from them and they built them and shipped them within a week. They have very good prices and stand behind their work. In one case I sent them my old canvas from my custom awning and they duplicated it. Northstarproductsinc.com
Just called him, $1,100 cheaper than the other quote I received! Thanks for the referral!Will do, thanks
You can in fact mount this top at a width of 104", an inch wider than its intended mounting width of 103". This will simply spread the tops legs out a bit further, at its base. The bimini tops come with standard deck mounting hardware, which is flat on the bottom. If you would like to clamp the top on to a railing, you could use something like our hinged jaw slide, so long as your rail has a diameter of 7/8". You would need 4 of these if you intend to mount both the top and its brace kit to the railing. Here is a link:
