Jeb,
I can restitch any failing seams and put patches over any tears. This would make it usable as far as getting you out of the sun. I would do my best to get something close in color to make the patches. I know I have some white,gray,tan pieces of material laying around. If you want you could send it to me UPS or USPS. I'll do whatever I can to make it usable for you and your family and send it back to you. I wouldn't want to replace zipper on this top due to the fact that it's probably not worth putting them on it. Just by looking at the top I'm thinking this is a pretty light weight material with a limited life. If you want to replace the top you can get a replacement top for $215. These tops look pretty nice made with 9 oz Sunbrella. As long as the radius of the curve on your top matches the curve in the patterning of the top it should fit (i can't say that it would or not). They are a 6' long top and you would have to measure the width of you top to order the correct one. The new top will not have the zippers to attach the side enclosure. The zippers can only be added to the top once it is put in position and marked not only where it sits in height and mounting points but also center line so that everything lines up. The patterning the new side curtains/panels and zipper placement can be done then. https://www.coverquest.com/bimini-to...s-in-sunbrella

Barry,
I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful response and the great info. I'm going to think it over and make a call in the coming month or so. Thanks, Jeb

Since we're talking about replacement, rather than repair, I'll offer the same solution that I've made on these forums before. I know of at least 2 members that have these tops and are well pleased with them.
1) they are cheap in price (Usually less than $125 including shipping) 2) they last. My top is going on it's 4th season and at that price I can well afford to replace it every 4 years if it fails this year (although there are no signs of it) 3) the frame is 1" tubing. (much stronger than the normal 3/4" found elsewhere) 4) All tops come with all necessary hardware and include a boot.  http://stores.ebay.com/Marine-and-RV-Direct?_rdc=1

Jeb
Would you mind posting on here or DM'ing me a few more pics of your new bimini? Particularly from the rear and/or the front of the boat? I'm interested in the width in proportion with the width of the hull. I see that you got the 79-84 inch width. I was just wondering if that is the widest you could go, or possibly could go wider with the 91-96 inch model. The beam on our v20's is 8ft or 96 inches. I just assumed that would be the correct width, but then I saw your post in the other bimini thread about the size that you ordered, and am now second guessing myself. Also, is yours black or navy blue? Thank you!
