Bimini Tops for XB-2003 (Or other shade options)

[AllyDave]

I realize this is probably the umpteenth time that someone has asked this... But does anyone have any photos of or information regarding custom tops for XB-2003's that are functional yet don't look like, well, crap? I'd hate to put just a plain ole bimini top on my XB-2003. There has got to be some custom options out there by now as long as this hull has been being produced. Someone out there has got to have a better solution. Thanks in advance for your input!

I know you are referring to a "custom" bimini top but this may be as custom as you are going to get. Meaning I don't think that Allison makes one for their boats.

This is off the owners site (did you join it?) and I do know that there is another member with an XB21 2+2 that also has one as well. And a few other XB03's. I've seen them in Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops catalogs and I think Overton's.

I would be winning to bet that if you searched the shore points especially the Florida region you could find a marina or marine canvas shop that custom builds bimini tops. As a matter of fact, I've seen custom shops in the Keys while vacationing there.

You may want to ask Lee from Sanderson Marine as well if he knows of any in his area. He is near the Chesapeake Bay and there has got to be shops to take care of Yachts and sailing vessels.

It runs well up to 30/35, others run them to 40+

They are great, when cruising its like sitting under a shade tree with a steady summer breeze...

Found this thread using the search feature and ended up ordering a bimini top for the XB-2003; we took a little too much sun this past weekend.................

Anyone have the correct size for a XB-21 2+2?

This is the one I have installed. I put the mounts in the rod trays. In reality, approx. 2-3" narrower would be better as there is a little tension to get the arms in the mount. I am probably going to trim the center section a couple inches. The 6 L x 36 is good. If they had a 6L by 65 That is what I would go back with.
