Re: Bimini Top for Six-foot-two Helmsman

For my 1975 [probably means MONTAUK 17] I will order from Carver the Bimini Top with stainless steel frame.

Re: Bimini Top for Six-foot-two Helmsman

Thanks for everyone’s comments. I think I’m going to go with the carver Bimini and cover. I’d also like to use the existing attachment points on the inwals but I’m going to measure everything this weekend and see what works. Cheers

I like the idea of using a track and having the ability to store the top outboard of the forward rails when not bein...

Bimini Top for Six-foot-two Helmsman

I just bought a MONTAUK 17, and I plan to install a Bimini top. I am 6-feet 2-inches tall, and I want to be able to stand at the center console.

Give me advice on selecting a Bimini top.

Q1: is a sliding track for the frame hinge point necessary?
