Well, I'm not sure that he's computerphobic. He's definately phobic in many other ways. I've repeatedly tried to get him onto several sites. He just doesn't go online very often.

Re: bimini enclosure
 

I talked to another guy today out of Taunton/Somerset. He quoted $2100 for SS frame, front, side, and rear curtains.

Things are looking up. I've got one more guy to call in Raynham.

Re: bimini enclosure
 

things are gettting much better....

The guy in Raynham gave me a price of around $1200 for SS frame, 30 weight glass, sunbrella fabric, zip pockets, etc...

I have to wait until March though. He works out of his house, does 1 boat at a time, and is booked through most of next season.

decisions, decisions....

Good things come to those who wait, and sometimes they pass them by. *If the guy for $1200 does good work it would be worth the wait. *Just another opinion. *Bill Mc ;D

Re: bimini enclosure
 

$1200 sounds like a fair price for a custom made enclosure. If it's within your budget, I'd say go for it. ;)

Re: bimini enclosure
 

Well I placed my deposit with the guy in Raynham, MA after checking out his place. He works out of his garage and restores MG's and Triumphs, also in his spare time. I saw a bunch of pix of his work. He only uses top materials and bends the frames himself.

The total enclosure with 7/8" dia SS frame, sunbrella fabric, and 30 gauge glass will be under $1500. Unfortunately, I'm #7 on his to do list. Well worth the wait though to save $600, and he's only about 6 miles away.

If anyone else is interested I can send you his info.

Re: bimini enclosure

I went there for some windows for the bimi I had before but I was a poor man back the and he wantee like $300 so I said forget it!!

Re: bimini enclosure

Auto Top. I know that place. This guy's a med tech by profession, but does this out of his garage at home. He's <5 minutes from 495.
