165 Bimini Top

[Scarab165_SC_15]

I bought the top as a universal kit. I can find the link. Then I modified it and bought different support bars and end fittings to make it strong and mountable on the 165. Overall was like $750 total. Its all stainless.

If you could put together a parts list with links that would be much appreciated! I'd love to replicate what you have now but don't know where I would start...

I had one made at a local boat canvas shop. Was $800, but I think it was worth it.

Help! I want a good strapless Bimini for a 2016 165ho that doesn’t have a tower. I’ve wasted a lot of time looking on the web because I just can’t pay Scarab 600 plus 1000 for shipping. $1,000 just to ship and they will not allow pickup orders. Help, the top of me head is getting redder by the minute.

@Markz Let me know if you do find a good one that resembles the stock one. I'm potentially interested as well.

I just ordered one from Boat Covers Direct 30" tall, 73-78 wide and 60" long with SS hardware and 4 braces instead of the straps. They said about 8 or 9 day delivery. I'll post up when I get it and can judge in person.

Awesome. Definitely post and if you decide to actually install it, I'd love to see that pic too.

Sorry guys I have no list of what was used. I just mounted the bimini on, held the front up with a board or somethig and then started designing in my head and buying parts. Its been so long not sure where I even got it all from. It still works flawless. Even at WOT. No issues.

Is this a carver to you use?

We install these instead of ordering the stock one from Scarab due to the small size of the stock one for $500.00 (IMO, you can buy a pop-up wal-mart umbrella that would work better than theirs. We charge $699.00 installed w/ boot and any color you want. Use these pics for a reference and take it to your local canvas shop!

What size is this Bimini top? 73-78" width?

That is the nicest bimini I've ever seen. Please help me figure out hoe to get one made like it. I wounder if you shop could duplicate it. Unfortunately I live very rural and don't even have a local canvas shop.
