Extended Bimini for RZ2

[j2dna]

Anyone happen to have a bimini extension in black that will fit a 2010 RZ2 that they want to get rid of?

Thx...

Re "fit", note that older (09?) bimini extensions had a single zipper that fit to a single zipper on the main bimini.

Newer extensions have double zippers that fit to double zippers on the main bimini.

I do not know when the change occurred.

And I learned this the hard (and frustrating) way.

Search back on 3/26/11 for a post of the extended Bimini top on our rz2, you can get from the dealer, as mentioned above tige changed out supplier mid year for production 09, when they sent mine, they had to send a whole new regular top that matched the extension, they are very nice however compared to the regular size they lip up a little in the front? Also the extension extends far back enough that you can get "clotheslined" getting in from the sun deck, but you get used to it. I would still get it again.

Here's some pics of regular and extended bimini on the same boat.

Note, that lip will go away. At first the bimini will only stretch to the first hole in the adjustable bimini support pole. However, if you keep gradually working it it will properly stretch to the third hole and that is exactly where you want it. You'd be shocked at how much those two little holes change the appearance. Don't worry about the lip.

Agreed re stretch. Ours did the same.

The rope will also hang up easier on the rear support bar of the extended bimini. I always check it before every pull. Of course, this one time I was in the water ... I hollered to cleart the rope which was interpreted as "go" (!?!). I dropped off but not before there was a little tear in the fabric and the bar was bent a bit.

I like the extended but we only run it when it is really, really hot.
