Tower Bimini

[NautiqueJeff]

Mine came from Mid-Ohio too. Their PN discount was nice to have. White Lake actually started selling TowerBiminis brand after seeing mine. They asked what brand it was, and a few weeks later I got a message from them that they liked mine so much that they had started selling them.

$905.00 seems like alot to me too. The break down.
$745.00 for the frame
$55.00 for the stripe
$75.00 for the black clamps
$30.00 for shipping

I have a local canvas shop that said the canvas and frame should be around $400.00. That makes the clamps worth $375.00. I know quality costs money (Ie. a new Nautique) but when does it become excessive?

I got mine from WLM when I got my boat and it cost $675.00, solid color, no stripe and I love it.

I got mine from a local shop that my dealership coordinated. It is very very very good and was somwhere around $500.

I have a few issues putting it up and down, but it is tucked so high to the tower, I am happy with the minor inconvience. I am very tall, so clearance underneath was a requirement. You can see fairly good from this pic. Plus, this is my favorite pic of my boat.

I have also bumped my head on the toggles that are mounted on the inside of the tower. If there was a way to get it mounted in another fashion, I would recommend that option. It seems that some of the ones on this thread utilize a better method than mine.

Tower Biminis are extremely solid and beautiful. They can get very pricey when extra options are added. The "Air Nautique" board logo bimini (pictures below) retails for $1,065. IMO if you want a nice bimini that is going to last and have a unique look, Tower Biminis is a great option.

come on, 1000 for a bimini you guys have more money than sence. materials only cost me 250$ to build the thing

[dave210]

For a grand can I get one with a rebel flag on it?

[Hollywood]

dave210, we get your point. No need to go insulting other's choices.

That AIR LOGO bimini looks great on that 220. If I were a dealer I'd def. spend the extra and put that on my 220 for a show or showroom at least. The red stripes and trim really matches the hull nicely...

Mark - that Bimini looks SICK!!! esp. on that 220.

I hope that one sells before I get down there to pick up the 211.... or my new screen name might be Air220!

Great looking boat! and the bimini rocks!!

Wow. Towerbims sure have gone up since I bought mine 3 years ago. I think it was
only $550 at the time, and I thought that was a lot. Still, in my mind towerbimini is
the best. Very stable. Good hardware, and the bimini itself is much larger than any
others I found. Mine came with a bim, and it was only 1 year old when I replaced
it, just because I wanted the big bim. I think I'd still buy a tower bim, even at a grand.

I have a tower Bimini, it is extremely well put together, covers more area then any other bimini I have had, is extremely sturdy and looks cool w/the added stripping. The only negative on my 206 is that you need to take the bimini down to fold the tower although maybe that is typical?

[FatBoy]

Mine was a little more because I got polished alum. rails and clamps to match my tower. Mine folds down with the tower, I don't have to take it down.

I've had mine (all poles no straps) for a year now and I'm very happy with it. I do not recommend towing your boat with the bimini (folded up of course) attached thou. I did this and lost some of the hardware that holds the poles in place. A quick call to towerbiminis had me replacement hardware in a week at no charge. Good Customer Service!

Gone up since I purchased mine, too. I didn't go through a dealer but still ended up paying about $700. One thing no one has mentioned here is that Tower Biminis has the different Flight Control models on site so their biminis are specific to those towers. As a result, they completely span the inner width of the tower and are significantly larger than what I’ve experienced from other mfgs. The fact that they don’t have straps either makes them look totally custom. Well worth the scratch, IMO.
