Well, maybe we were talking about you. Come on and help us spend Nick's money for him. I don't think he will mind TOOOOOO much........

Get that custom arch made and I bet that will be one sweet ride with all the hot hardware trimming it out!

Nick,
The stand-up bimini on my boat was made by a shop in Hingham, but I can't remember the name. I think they're in the Hingham Shipyard. The frame is made of SS w/o straps, so it stands on its own when folded. I've read your other posts and from the sounds of it, what I have would not fit your needs. What you've described does sound very tempting though, since it allows for the rod to be held while at the helm.

Call me what you want just don't call me late for fish'in... Hey Nick let me know what you want to do. I'm sure if you go for it, we'll have it ready for the NE Sea Craft party..!!

[cSickNick]

Well ... Don ... let's go for it!

You can show-off the 20' Seafari HT (Hard Top) option at the NE Party.

The deal is that "no" info can leak until the NE Party.

Don, I will call you in a few days to talk the details, .... ROAD TRIP!!!

Thanks again for others input and spending my cash!

I'll be waiting. Shame it's going to be a covert op's project, I was going to take pictures and post the progress. So others could see the process.

Hey Nick-

I like your idea for that custom bimini/arch top for your boat. I would give Hood Canvas in Amesbury a call. I have seen several of their dodgers and other enclosures and they do exceptional work. The only downside is that they are expensive. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] To give you an idea of their cost & quality.....a custom dodger with a stainless frame, eisenglass window, and leather wraps is around $1300.

Who knows...maybe what you have in mind will be somewhat less expensive. Definitely worth a phone call.

Good luck.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for the canvas tip!

I decided to go with Don to build me a custom hardtop.

Since i am going to miss her for a few weeks, i am tempted to have Don sub-out the canvas work.

If the funds are low, i might wait and do it later with someone up in this area.

We shall see ..... keep you posted .....

BTW .... Don ....... TEST ......

Well Don, i am ready.

I stripped the boat down (crap, gas, motor, batteries) out to lighten the load.

The "OUZO" will be rolling down to NJ on Sat!!
(hopefully still on the trailer...)

Stay clear!!!
