I am purchasing a bimini in the next few days and am interested in any of you who have purchased from Ameribrand for their tops. If not, who did you use. Thanks dan 86 FK/TR

By the way, got a sail in today and got a little too much SUN!!

Mine was purchased from Catalina Direct. It's a very good bimini but not a very good fit for the C25. I plan to cut it down this spring, about 6 inches less in width, and 2 inches shorter.

with that it should be just right

a good bimini on a tall rig is hard to find, methinks.

I purchased a GMI Top Designs for my t/r. It is aluminum, but cost me $306 which includs shipping. See my post from 10-22-03 on page 9 of old topics to see how I made it fit. Winter caught me before I could really try it out, but I think it will work for me.
Hope this helps.

I just went to the Ameri-brand.com web site and they do not list Catalina as a brand in their database. It is obvious they are a powerboat shop. Why are you considering them?

Most of the suppliers I have seen have only powerboats listed. All of those use custom measurements to build from. If you have a suggestion please, list them, I am willing to check em out!
