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
season....we usually have so much overcast weather in the late spring that
a
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.


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.


When you install that thing, be sure to check how it will ride when in the down
position. I'm not too happy with the way mine was installed by the factory. I'm
wishing it were mounted back about three inches. It doesn't want to drop down
between each side of the bow rail.

Some boat manufacturers install their bimini accessories properly, and
some...do not. Mine plops down perfectly on the front deck.
