Bimini Top

by Bigplumbs » 15 May 2017, 10:21

I am thinking of fitting a Bimini top to my Fletcher 17 Arrowstreak Bow Rider to give some protection from the sun and rain.

I am looking at these

No, but they look OK.

So, the bigger boats you are looking at Dennis, why not diesel?

Diesel is certainly still an option. The thread I did in the other place was to tease out opinions. Diesels however are more expensive. The ideal is always an outboard for me

Hi Dennis. I have a 99 Bayliner 1750 bowrider and bought something similar. Also bought some glass clear tarp for the front, sides and sides to give full protection, particularly from the wind. Worked out really well.
