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.


Hope all works well! Take some pictures and let us see.

Hopefully you'll spend some of all that savings on a worthy cause, where
your
donation will be matched!

Savings??
I had an expensive couple of days...
$135.00 for yearly application of Krown rustproof on my RAV4
$199.00 to license same for two years
$1660.00 for interm bill equal to half my yearly property taxes
and now over $400.00 for the bimini.
Does your charity take pennies?


Shoot yes! Any donation is gratefully accepted, and will be matched!

Why are you getting the RAV4 rustproofed annually? Is the salt air that bad?
Consumer Reports just came out saying one should not add undercoating to an
automobile, that the factory stuff is fine.

I was kinda wondering the same thing. Usually the additional rust
proofing applied by a professional company is good for the life of
the vehicle.


Isn't it?

Wouldn't blue look better and more...marine?

Have you always boated alone? Doe she get seasick?

And you can call your boat "Yo Ho Junior".

Now that's funny!

Rustproofing modern cars at all is a huge waste of money. A yearly
application is a scam.

I'd be happy to pay your property taxes! Mine are twice as much.

If you burn easily a bimini will help but a large hat and SPF50
sunscreen will help even more. The sun has a way of finding its way
around biminis, and you also get quite a bit reflected from the water.




Wayne is right, even under a bimini you will get burned so wear a hat
and use sunscreen.


Try Solumbra (http://www.sunprecautions.com/). They make SPF-rated clothing.
Works wonderfully, and you don't need as much chemicals on your skin.

You don't want to mess with skin cancer.


Thanks. I was going to try it but I'm glad I decided to mess with
pancreatic cancer instead. I'm not sure where to start, but I'll keep
you posted.

That sounds like the real deal
Similar to what my buddy and I bought for our boats from a local
fabricator.
$500 or so?


Just a tad less after HST tax and shipping added.
