I had a similar question when I bought my 96 Vista. People here told me to just give it a try, the first time it took me maybe 45 minutes, now I can do it in 15-20. I statred with bimini up, and put the port eisenglass panel on first then just worked my way around the boat never fully zipping or snapping anything until I was sure that it was in right. I think it's a lot easier than it seems.

Also be mindfull of fumes if your gonna have it up while boating. Venting is a must as well as a working CO detector.

What we did to improve the process is to put it all together while at home and then label each canvas piece. It is not apparent where the strangely shaped canvas sections should go. We labeled what it is (i.e., side curtain, windshield fill in, or stern window), which side it goes on (i.e., port or starboard), and which end is facing to the front. We have six or seven separate canvas sections and it was a mess to put up when we needed it. The worst part of the process was that my wife is a graphic designer and was figuring out what went where faster than I could make good guesses.
