I am looking to get prices for a Bimini Top for the 250. Can you direct me to some places to look. Also how much modifications do I need to do. Thanks

Don, the bimini on Frayed Knot does not require any modifications. Here's a thread with some other projects if you'd like something that extends a little further aft:

To my knowledge, these other projects didn't require any mods to the boat. They do however incorporate provisions for extending aft of the backstay.
Send me a note if I can answer any questions about my project.

Dave,

I like yout Bimini and was wondering where you bought it at. Was it easy to install and can you stand up under it. Thanks again.

I'm 6'4" and I'm just glad I can sit under it! I have a tall rig and as I understand it, the tall rigs have a lower boom. To give you some perspective on that, when I stand up in the cockpit my boom is shoulder height. Since my bimini fits under the boom, there's no way to stand under it. Note: if you're planning to fit a bimini under the boom, be sure to measure the boom height while sailing close hauled.

I believe I ordered the bimini through West Marine after getting all the specifics from the [url="http://www.biminitops.cc/cgi-bin/standard.pl"]TaylorMade website[/url]. If you go through the fit guide there's a link to iboats.com for online ordering - might be a better price, I don't know.
