bimini top and cover
 

Yes I too have taken the Plunge and started re doing a 78 V20 Are there any sources for Bimini's and covers that have the dimensions and I can just order and have fit without going to a custom top shop? Also what about v birth cushions

Bimini's are easy, I got mine at West Marine and it fit great!! Cabin cushions are another story. If you can't find any, then you will have to have them made.
Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site and good luck on refurbishing your V. I agree with MJ that the bimini should be easy by basically just measuring the width of the boat from gunwale to gunwale where you will place the mounts. On road/storage covers, I have not been able to find any that are custom fit for the V. I think your options there are either custom made, which can be expensive, or an off the rack cover that will not quite be a custom fit. I think you are stuck with having berth cushions made unless you can find some that are close on Ebay. Just last week I saw some cushions for a bow rider that looked like they would fit the berth nicely.

Welcome to teh site.

For cushions, keep watching e-bay, about a year ago,
one of our bretheren picked some up there.

Oh yeah, were are you located?

You Too Have A 1978 Steplift Pics Me Too Love It The Bow Rail Is Differant From The Rest Did You Know That?

Everybody wants to sell you a bimini.
Bass Pro, Cabelas, Overtons and don't overlook a google search for one, that opens another can of worms.
