Or maybe someone has the frame and would be kind enough to make drawings and measurements.

Thought I would try this again. I am looking to purchase a bimini top, I have a 93 FW F/s and i know they came with a small bimini top that covered the passenger and drivers seat. I can have replacement canvas made etc, so really just needing the frame. Any help along the ways of finding one would be great. |

By the time you find the right frame it might be easier to just have a local canvas shop fabricate one. Either that or ask the factory if they have drawings you could obtain to have one made. |

You could take the measurements that you get off the boat (how long you want the top to be, how far apart the mounting points are) and then determine what size bimini you want. Then decide do you want an aluminum or stainless frame. Once you know that then you can buy one from some of the on line sellers like Overtons or West Marine and install it yourself. I did this recently on my old 88 Horizon, it came with the convertible top but those do not allow you to stand when driving. I made sure the bimini was high enough to stand under it when driving. I also mounted slider mounts to the gunnels so I could slide the top back or forth to get it out of the way when fishing. It came out great and is one of the best additions I made to the boat.... Buying a standard one that is close to the right size will be cheaper than having a custom one made, depending on labor rates where you live. Most bimini frames are adjustible within a certain width range. I mounted it to the inside of the gunnels so I could eventually have a camper enclosure added, instead of mounting it to the outside as is often done on small boats. |
