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

Cool

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.

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!

Default Here ya go...

Hey,

Mine's a shade lighter than navy. I took a pic from the other day (we never had the bimini open). Not sure if this helps...

It fits the V20 well.
