SWEET! That 40 gauge is the ticket. I know you're getting sides, what about the back? Guy does nice work.

Yep, I'm getting a back drop/curtain also. I was in his shop again tonight. Not much work done as we were solving lifes problems over a brew ;) I had given him an idea and he ran with it. Now I'm not so sure but, whats done is done. I had suggested that since where the plastic rubs the Al support poles (plastic always turns black there) that he seem in a piece of material that would ride the poles. Have to see how it looks when it's done. If you scroll back up to the second pic, the pole that goes from windshield frame to rear main hoop will have a piece of sunbrella that rides along the pole to save the plastic. Actually, it will probably look fine. I had forgotten that it was my idea. Overall I'm so happy with his work that I can't stand it. We also gave him a good piece of change as an early Christmas bonus. That was wifey's idea, but who can't use a little extra money right before Christmas? ;D

Yep Phester, there is lots of headroom. That was a change we made as I'm almost 6'4" and the top used to rub my head. Figured if I was gonna do it, we'd do it right ;)

AIRSLOT, LOOKING GREAT !!!. I love it !! ;D
Damm, I would have gone new, but just didnt have the $$$. :'( Need to wash the windows with dish soap the guy says. I still have my bim straps as well. Close to 40 bucks I put out for them. :'(

Thumbs up on the dish soap. That's what I use.

I'm close to 6'1" and my head does a little rubadubdub at times :'( but that's stuff you deal with when you can't afford new - right Hammer?

Airslot, I checked out the Perfectfit.com website. The prices for 316 SS hardware are awesome. I paid alot more for my bimini fittings but alot less than West Marine or Boatersworld.
I thought I had a real buy!!!
