There currently is a top on the boat now, but i don't really care for it. the boats is in decent shape, motor runs great. technically, this is probably considered a project boat in the long run, but the transoms solid and it gets me on the water.. These boat tops first appeared at bimini bay - bimini is part of the bahamas, closest to the mainland of the usa, about 53 miles/81 kilometres east of miami and is a very popular holiday and fishing resort, also known as the fishing capital of the bahamas.. I have a 16' aluminum starcraft/50hp nissan.this hardtop is converted from very light aluminum truck canopy.weights about 60lbs.bought it on craigslist for $....
Attach the hardtop to the bimini top frame by setting eye straps -- a "u"-shaped fastener with screw holes on the ends of the "u" -- over the frame's tubing and securing them to the bottom -- the non-fiberglass side -- of the hardtop with wood screws. attach the frame to your boat with a bimini mount appropriate to the frame.. How to make boat camper tops there are several different types of boat tops, but the most common is a bimini top, a small awning on a metal frame. custom boat covers can run to thousands of dollars, but you can make one yourself for a fraction of the cost, especially if you have your old cover to use as a pattern and you already have the metal. This clip is in real time (aka slow) but it shows the simple steps taken to bend a three bow boat top frame..
