Add a Bimini?
Hi, I was wondering if anybody here has added an aftermarket bimini to a Moomba with the factory tower? If so, what brand/material.......and are you happy with it?
Thanks!

Tiltboy,
I currently have the damm windshield mounted bimini and hate it. To much pressure on the windshield.
I ordered a tower bimini from Skiers Choice on Monday. The price was not that bad.
Hope to have it in by Friday for the weekend. It's suppose to be over 100 this weekend here in Ok.
I will follow up on how the install goes.
Doug, t-town

Over the winter we added our bimini from skiers choice and was installed to our tower. Works great and I love it. keeps the driver (mostly me) out of the sun during the hot days. Makes the boat look good too.

qb12, I did not install the tower myself though i should have because i believe it would have been fairly simple. Wish i could help you more. There were the eyehooks drilled into the gunnel aft of the tower. and another eye on the front part of the tower. If that makes any sense to you.

stang, i have seen two different photos of the ones on the moomba, one which was attatched to the curved support pole and the other is on the lower bar that is on the tower. i hope it is the later.
thanks for your input.

Hey Doug, what kind of price did you get on your Tower Bimini? I asked a local dealer and they said $650. I thought that was HIGH!

My price i believe was like 575 but that was with a little haggling with the dealer. Yes its pricy but i believe it is worth it to have some shade in the hot summer sun.

tiltboy, it was $550 from the skiers choice. However it was the shipping that i was unaware of that shocked the crap out of me. $145.00.
Normally -everything that I have ordered from them was a set amt based on the price of the purchase.
Oh well, hopefully going to install it today. Let you know how it goes.
I will be selling my Moomba windshield mount. I would recommend it to anyone without the tower, or at least the old tower that they used. It is in great cond.

Well I the bimini installed on Saturday. In all it took me about 40 minutes. I would call it a 1 1/2 beer job.
But it rained all weekend so I was unable to get out and use it.
