New bimini top for my Jubilee
I'm starting to think about things that I want to address before next season. And first on my list is a new bimini top for my '00 Z244 Jubilee. I currently still have the original, but it has gotten pretty stretched out. So it sags in the middle. And one of the hoops is slightly bent. I've looked at iBoats, as well as a couple of other sites, and they appear to have direct replacements. Has anyone with a Jubilee purchased one of these, feedback, photos? I did notice that one of the big differences, is that those replacements use nylon straps to tie down the front and rear hoops. My factory uses aluminum poles instead. I'm also going to get a quote to have a custom one done from a local shop. I'm guessing that it will be more that the ~$560 from iBoats.

Why not just have a seamstress or upholstery shop make new material for your existing frame?

Re: New bimini top for my Jubilee
Ummm... yeah... my original post states that is an option. I am running under the assumption that a custom top will be more expensive than one from iBoats or the like. Certainly, my custom cover was more than more than an "off the shelf" cover. And I would use the same shop, which did a great job on the cover. Additionally, as I mentioned, at least one of the hoops needs to be replaced.
I am just curious if any other Jubilee owners have bought one off the shelf, and if so, how did it work out? |
