ISO Bimini top for my 2008 xlv

[Brandoncyruss]

Anyone have a pre owned Bimini from an 08 xlv they're wanting to get rid of?

I too am looking for a top for my 2008 XLV. Anyone out there with any ideas? I want a fold up, not static top.

I was thinking about buying one of these. Would like to see anyone bought one and can provide feedback.

If towerbiminis is too expensive, check out big air. I got their collapsible bimini for $600 for my 08 LSV.

this is what i decided to go with. I've ordered stuff from them before and have always been pleased with the quality of their products. Spoke to the owner, he said it'd fit no problemo! I'll let everyone know what i think as soon as it gets in.

On my old 2004 LS I installed a Monster Cargo bimini. It was awesome as you could put three surfboards or even and inflatable on top of it.

The medium fits almost all Moombas:

I think Great Lakes Skipper had some of these. Might want to check.

I tracked down the company that made the OEM top for my 2008 XLV. Great Lakes Boat Top. I have them building me the OEM top made for the Xtreme tower. Right now they have a 25% off sale through the end of the month. I am going to swing by their location in TN and pick it up to save the hefty shipping charges. Got it for around $425. They do have their cargo version that will fit any tower for under $400. Link to their cargo top.

That's the Monster Cargo Bimini. Same thing. I would highly recommend that over the OEM due to the benefit of being able to store surfboards and inflatables on top of it.

Stazi, what does the OEM top even look like? Great Lakes doesn't have a pic, but it is all mounted to the rack. I have to many reasons not to go with the OEM top and not a cargo style top.

It's basically just sunbrella that wraps around the tube of the tower and then goes straight forward to the front portion of the frame. It's VERY basic.

Thanks, I hate to say it but it is what I was hoping for. My summer storage situation will require breaking the rack down each trip on the lake. I'm looking for basic not functional.

Hey guys, not to take over this thread, but since you are all XLV owners, I was wondering if anyone of you would be interested in replacing the rear plastic vent covers with stainless steel ones. I can send you photos if you want via my phone... Just text me at 403-852-0281 and I can forward you some pics... My boat is a 2008 XLV. I would assume the temp plate would work with older models as well.
