Hey guys,
Waited all winter to get under my tarp to double check measurements for a bimini against iboats - vessel is 1999 Princecraft Pro Series 166. (I sent an email to iboats with my question - but also want some feedback..)
I have a rail mounted inside for the convertible cover. I guess I had assumed the bimini would attach to that. There's 64.5" between each rail. Iboats suggests a 79-84" bimini.... this would put the mounting kits on the gunwales...
I did search through the archives here, and found a bunch of photos and discussion about the biminis... but none discussing the actual product itself...
I guess I can see this giving me extra room inside... but should I shop for one that fits into the rails width instead, or put the new hardware on?
My convertible top is shot - so I'm hoping to buy a complete cover or have one made - I never use the convertible top, so a plain old cover will be suitable for me... it's just to keep the rain out when sitting on the trailer.... when i'm on the boat, I'm in the sun, and the only cover I want is a bimini.
What do you think, bergundy or tan color?? I'm thinking bergundy... (photo in signature) original cover and boot are tan... dash, and wheels are tan.... carpets are bergundy... seats are tan and bergundy
Thoughts on this? Much appreciated.
