Most of the ones I've seen look fine and when custom ones are close to a
grand the price is pretty attractive.

Just came back from the local "toy" store..(boats, bikes, sleds,
etc...) and saw the line of ready made Bimini Kits. $399.00 will get
me a red top, and all poles and straps, ready to install. I thought
thats a good price. Ya, you may think that it would be cheap, thin
wall poles at that price, but no, the kit looks really sturdy. They,
of course, had boats in the showroom with tops already on, and I'm
getting one for the spring.
I gotta also say that the new Bilgeliner 270 24 footer, was a dam
nicely designed boat as well.The price stated was $53,000 Can.

I got in a mad rush to go boating this summer, and was going to have a
custom built bimini for my 23' Marquis, but eh, didn't take the time.
then in Jusy and August it got so blasted hot, we didn't go out hardly
at all. I'll have one made before next spring.

I could have gotten one of the $400.00 "buggy" tops, but I just
didn't think they would have looked right.
