kmkramer71 Hey I sent a message to you did you get it???

I think $34k would be a competitive price in the market and would be a decent deal for the buyer. If both parties feel like they're getting worked over a little bit, that's generally a good deal.

@Fire_medic, yes thanks.

deal reached

I've reached a deal. Not sure if I can post the numbers here but I am just under average retail.

It doesn't matter what we think on what you paid, as long as you are happy. Some one will always say they got a better deal.

Welcome to the group and congrats on your new purchase. Thanks for posting pics. We all like pics here and want to see some water shots when you get it out. Have fun.

[kmkramer71]

bimini help

When we brought it home Friday we were trying to figure out how to collapse the bimini frame and secure to the tower for towing. I've got some pretty big hills to travel on the way to storage. We could not figure it out and ended up spending an hour putting it back on. It don't think it is quite right yet. Previous owner said he took it down once and never did again and just keeps it under 50 when towing. I can't do that.

maybe there is a better replacement frame I can get. Also what type of tower do I have?

Thanks. water pics coming after Memorial Weekend.

You have an early E series tower, the uprights changed in 08 a bit. I have a different Bimini, I've heard that earlier style was a pain to put up and down.

i have to put my bimini forward bc of my speakers. here's a picture that might help you out

That swim deck is B-E-Autiful!!!

[kmkramer71]

Mogey,

I tried to mimic this on mine and I cannot get the middle bar past the tower can speakers. Do you have to break-down the middle connection to accomplish the fold down?
