2008 LSV Factory Bimini - Need Pictures

[boarder3304]

Hey all...In the market to replace my factory bimini as it has some holes in it and is just worn. The boat is in storage and I don't have access to it. I put in a quote request to Great Lakes Canvas, and the quote I got back said "No Snaps" on it. When I asked if that actually mean zero snaps, the rep was unsure. I know that mine has snaps on each side where it wraps around the tower, along with zippers that are about 6-8" long. Anyone with an 08 LSV and factory bimini have access to it that can take a picture of the snaps and zipper and post it so I can share with Great Lakes Canvas? Thanks in advance!

I don't think my 2008 LSV factory bimini has snaps or a zipper on it (unless you count the storage sleeve). Your original bimini might not be a "factory" bimini. Mine does not "wrap around the tower". It unfolds and has straps that keep it attached to the tower in front and to the gunwales in the rear. Here's a couple of pics that show it:

Thanks Kane. Great Lakes Canvas did come back and say that they found the template on the floor and it has the snaps and the zippers. Mine goes up to the tower and wraps around it in the back, different from yours. I wonder if they changed midway through production.

Wow! No idea. I don't think I've ever seen that one. Does yours fold and store right up against the tower like mine?

Yes. Folds back to the tower.
