			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.

			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.

			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. |

 Try to consider the tallest friend or family member who goes on the boat w/you...being a little on the tall side I can tell ya duckin' around all day under a top that's too low ain't fun...

			000 Living in Tapahannock youre going to want to do some striper fishing and it's cold as a witch's tity, look at INAFORTY pic he has the right set up for clear cutains. That's pretty much the same set up as I have on mine and I fish 2-3 times a week from Nov-March and those curtains are nice keeping the wind and cold and (water) out.
