I was thinking of ordering a Bimini top from Overton's. Has anyone got one from there? How do they hold up or should I spend more and go to a custom shop to get one done.

You should save your money and don't buy from any of them. I love Boatarama covers. They are an eBay seller, the poles are double wall 1" thick aluminum and the covers are nicely made. They come in 3 and 4 bow styles and the prices are hard to beat.

I believe Reelapeelin also bought one from them, ask him his opinion. But for me they are far and away a better value than a lot of the ones you find on other sites.

Do you need the whole top? or just canvas? I have a buddy here in va beach that will make you a canvas top if needed.

You might do better taking it to a shop if you just need the canvas. Would probably get a better fit with them being able to measure it themselves.
