What is everyone's recommendation for a good bimini top? I prefer to not drill any holes in my boat but realize we can spend more time on the water if we have some shade. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1955 - 94 Ski Nautique |

Hey Josh,
Hope all is well, missed you guy's at GL this year. Try these guy's, Joel (M3Fan) has always recommended them, may even find some past threads saying the same. http://www.gmitopdesign.com/ - GMI Biminis ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

+1 on GMI
will require holes for 2 main brackets and 4 eyestraps but they are small ones. I mounted mine to the windshield frame (this location dosen't like foward tilt of top)and the front eyestaps to the vents (1998SN) using two of the screws on the vent. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

Get Mr.Tim Morfoot to take pics of his mounts(brackets). He screwed them in the top of the rub-rail. ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

There is a manufacturer out there that makes a bimini that is supported by a pole that comes straight up from the pylon. Don't think any drilling into the gel is required, but I can't speak for the quality though as I have not been on a boat with one yet. ------------- ...those who have fallen and those who will. |

Sounds like GMI is the way to go. Thanks for the suggestions. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1955 - 94 Ski Nautique |

I like the pylon one, but it is over twice as much. With all of the positive comments on the GMI I think a couple of holes would be better than spending twice as much money. Thanks for all the suggestions. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1955 - 94 Ski Nautique |
