Default New Carver Bimini Top

I installed our new Carver top last week and finally got a picture taken. I'm glad it was able to mount to existing mount on side shield. It definitely came in handy yesterday in the sun.
I noticed 3 fellow Mariahs at the lake.

    That top looks good. Could you go into more detail about it? Where did you get it? How long was the install? Did you have to replace the hook type latch near the back of the boat? I am hoping to get this done this year as well.

    Thanks in advance.

    That top looks great. I'd also like a new top, as the convertible top we have is sometimes problematic. How did you order/obtain it?

    Looks awesome, I'd also like to install one as well. Would you provide the info on where to buy, cost, and installation. I have a 96 Talari that I want to install one on.

    We got it from iBoats.com and it was $359 and another $46 for the strut brace kit. Pretty easy install. By myself took about an hour. The main pivots attached where the old convertable top did on the side glass. I had to drill for the front strap hooks and the rear strut on the gunwale. Very nice addition for those hot sunny days.
