bimini top
Submitted by wez0062 on Fri, 2020-01-10 08:10
hey guys, just updating my previous post, i am chasinga new canopy for my boat, see pic attached. This pic is from a local dealer, just showing the size of bimini i am chasing, the photo is a solid canopy, i will be having a fold down bimini, but the same size & the same area of clears.
I have the exact same boat, Fraser / Commodore, so it is comparing apples with apples
I have been quoted $3000.00. Does seem expensive to me !!
your thoughts please

Welcome to burning money !
Sounds about right . The biggest killer these days is labour, try and get anything done on a boat for less than $100 an hour and your doing well . What the adage about cheap and good ? . Nice boat by the way .
My wife understands why I clean my rods n reels in the shower....

Definitely sounds about
Definitely sounds about right to me, especially if they are using stainless for the frame and including the rocket launcher.

expensive
yeah 3k is alot of money just for a bimini, im in the process of getting quoted for 1 now, just a standard bimini that buttons onto the windscreen (no side clears) (no extension) (no rocket launcher)
i was expecting around the 350-500 dollar mark. but after reading this i should expect 800-1000 mark, will let you know once quoted (3 qoutes out atm)
