    I do not like my Bimini!

    Hello guys,

    Just today I asked from my dealer to add a bimini on my 2008 210TE.

    The problem is that I do not like it at all! I searched online and I found another 210 with the same tower etc and that bimini looks way better than mine.

    I would like to ask you if you know from where I can order it and how much it will cost?

    I have attached 2 images showing my boat (Red/Black 210) and the blue 210 with the nice bimini I am interested.






    Thank you,
    Andronikos

    I have to agree with you 100%, do not like the look of the over the top Bimini's.

    "Tower Bimini" makes both styles, check out their website at www.towerbiminis.com

      For me, I like the over the tower bimini. Mine is like the one on the blue boat and I'm planning on replacing it this year. Over the tower gives you much more headroom. It may not look quite as good, but I'm more about feature/function than looks.

        Under the tower gives more shade - tower biminis for either under or over.

          Over the tower works better on a FCT2 titan tower its much lower than the FCT1 .

            Play with the color scheme on the website. There is also an FAQ with pricing. It is not obvious...you have to start with a base and keep adding options.

            Email John at Info@TowerBiminis.com and he will help you. Tell him that you are from PlanetNautique and you might get a break. Our group buy is over but it never hurts to ask.

                  Yellow_Flash_Colorz: I actually would like the black. Unfortunately mine is tan, and a little mouse village decided to make its winter home in my bimini. I wouldn't really have minded all that much, except for the fact they chewed a couple of holes in it!!

                  I'm wondering if there is enough interest in trying a group buy with TowerBiminis.com. I smacked my head again this weekend so I need to do something before a concussion finally sets in. Anyone interested?

                    Looks like on the red/black boat the bimini is designed to go UNDER the tower, not on top. ER

                      I may be interested in the group buy depending on final cost and shipping cost to Canada. I have also been looking at the cargo style bimini (http://shop.monstertower.com/p-103-c...ck-bimini.aspx). The extra storage is nice. One potential problem is that I don't think you can easily stow away the bimini... most people that I know that have a bimini have it open all the time anyways... Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, interest in group buy?

                        I would be down for a group buy depending on the price as well.

                            andronikos,
                            How do the rollers on that trailer treat your black gel coat?
