Great Job! Any you have done so much in a short amount of time.

Bimini is ordered and due to arrive by the 19th.

Ordered 2 sets of these. For the rear hard supports and the side mounts. This way I can easy lover from radar arch position for cover storage. Also I can fully remove entire Bimini for winter garage storage or storage under engine hatch.

Quick disconnect swivel stainless steel flush mount. Will not snag anything especially te cover

Nice choice. That's the same hardware as from the factory on the ~2004 - ~2008 (and maybe later) Horizons.

Yea that is part of the reason I chose it. In addition it is the best looking hardware out there.

I bought all the cup holders that they had. Hopefully they get more in this week. And I'll get my 8th. Also grab handle for the stern to be mounted for grabbing when climbing up the swim ladder. Present for the wife.

That looks like my bimini top I ordered last year. If it is the same one I ordered you are going to love it. I got the SS supports and fittings. WELL worth the upgrade.

My compliments on a great looking job on the boat so far. They are a great boat and you will have a lot of fun with it. I noticed in one of the pictures that it came equipped with a "customized" left trailer step and fender. You just might get that worked out most of the way with some strategic blocking and clamping and percussion adjustment (hammer work). Best regards.
