			Ended up getting one from these guys. http://www.gmitopdesign.com/ I'm sure there are a few differences in a '75 hull and an '89. I ended up with a 6' top, that would work on a 79-84" width and had a height of 48-54". Ended up cutting off 6" to make me happy with head room and fitting to the area I wanted. I made it to fold forward or rear with hard adjustable pole supports and it not fastened to the windshield.

			tsubaki is right, I just installed my bimini from www.gmitopdesign.com, very quick shipping excellent quality only takes a short time to install. tsubaki, thanks for the pics and the link, that is what I used when researching a top for mine earlier this year. |

			Our boat had a 6 footer and I think it was original when we purchased it. I order an 8 footer from GMI. The quality of the product was pretty good but the fit of the top is lousy. The middle 2 bows would not raise high enough to make a tight fit. I had to remove the bows from the sewn in pockets to get the bows high enough to make it taut/tight. I had to add additonal straps to support the center of the bimini. I recently add front and side isinglass panels.  I think a 6 footer would be a good fit. Our 8 footer works for us but we don't fish.

			I just bought a new top about 3 weeks ago from boatarama http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-B...ssoriesQ5fGear Have not installed it yet, but set it up in my basement to check quality, fit, etc. Gotta say I love it... 4 bows, not 3, 1" double walled tubing, not the normal 7/8", boot included in price, great price, 7 year guarentee, and for an extra $20 bucks they threw in a matching set of solid support poles with all hardware. You might want to check these guys out...
