Thanks for the replies. I was able to cobble mine back together for a little while. I was more concerned about the plastic fittings holding up.

Also, is there any way to shorten the length of the pole? I d prefer the pole on the front and straps to the back. That way you can let the top down and run with it out of the way.

Cool

Yes. You can shorten it. The pole (I take it you mean the main crossbow that the folding crossbow attaches to) has the bottom fittings pop-riveted to it. Simply measure the length you want to shorten it, drill out the pop rivets, remove the plastic base, and cut to size. (Use a pipe cutter to get a nice square cut on the pipes, not a hacksaw). Then reattach the bottom piece, drill out the holes and pop rivet the base back on. Not a lot of work. I actually did the same thing for mine.

That Bimini top at $150 is a great deal.

4 yards of Sunbrella will run you about $130 and that's just the material.

I paid $500 26 years ago, so thats about $20 a year. This one is $150 and might get 5 years, so thats $30 a year. So the cheaper one is actually 33% higher

Problem with the equation is , i probably only have 5-7 years of boating left.

I ll just keep zip tieing
