Where can I purchase a top for my 1986 Bayliner capri? I would really like to get one that connects to the factory brackets on the side glass and snaps across the windshield.

Re: Bimini top

I have that boat configuration too but I think that the bimini snapped to the windshield would block my vision too much. I am about 6 ft. tall and need to look over the windshild a lot to see. I am thinking of making a bimini top to my own specs that is taller.

I found one on ebay by luck.It was not for my 17 capri but I made it work.It does have a glass front which is much needed.Keep looking.

Re: Bimini top

Lotusing-
can you describe how you modified the one you found? I am thinking of doing that with mine via ebay. Did you use the orig. equipment mounting brackets on the side windshield or something else and could you post a picture?
Mine will need a 3 bow, either 4 or 5 ft. long, 48 in. high, and 77 in. wide. That is for a free standing one, not snapped to the windshield.
Thanks.

Joe
