Default New bimini cover

Just ordered a new bimini (sun) cover for my Princecraft Yukon. *I decided
to get one because I tend to get burned the first really good sunny day each

good hot day catches us a bit unprepared.
Now I might even get my fair skinned wife out for a cruise.
Anyway, I ordered the top from a manufacturer in Quebec who also makes the
official Princecraft 'Sun Top' version. *Mine will be better, with real
Sunbrella, stainless steel hardware upgrade and with the back support poles
in place of rear straps.
All that and about $100.00 cheaper. *I should look quite dapper with the
Cadet Gray top over the blue sides and gray hull.


Dapper indeed. I need to get a new bimini top for the pontoon. Oh, the
old one is functional but looking dingy and has a hole in it. Instead
of re-crover I'd say a new one would be bnetery equity. I'm thinking
on using poles and cross beams and making my own so it will go from
stern to bow. Hey, it worked well on the DUKW's, and Filupino fishing
boats.
