A Mills bimini would cost about 25% more, but is rumoured to be higher quality and have the ability to connect to the Mills forward shelter with a windshield connector, much akin to the way Buckda has his canvas setup on his Gambler.

lakeman	posted 06-02-2005 06:29 PM ET (US)             I know I will up set some people here, but after owning a factory bimmi top that is stainles steel framed, I would never aging get stainless, it may last a long time but it is heavy and awkward to use because of it's weight. I would chose an alumminm frame with a light weight fabric Custom built by someone I know, not the generic ones you get at the usual stores.
