check out Cabela's.. they have quite a selection for all different size boats.

i see you are in Elgin, not too far from Lake Michigan. there has to be multiple Bimini top makers near you. I would suggest not ordering from a big store, but make an appointment and take your boat to a custom shop and get one made exactly for your boat. you'll have more options of how and where it fold down / or collapses. you can upgrade mounting hardware to flush mounts so you dont have those metal "V" mounts pointing up off your gunnels. more options of materials and colors. custom windows if you wish AND if it ever needs serviced, you can take it back to them. i would not suggest ordering one from a box store. go to a custom maker. about the same money (especially after shipping) from a store and you'll get exactly what you want. if you are really tall, you can get a tall top made..etc..all that stuff.

I bought a sunbrella westland from iboats.com. $400 and its a great top.

Its on a Mastercraft and I was concerned about quality to match the boat, but its really a great topnice for $400. Comparable cover makers in my area wanted 700 for the same thing.
