I just ordered from ameribrands

After obsessing with the measurments and pouring over the pictures from CLR and all that everyone posted we decided on a 6 foot long 74 inch wide Aluminum with SS fittings.
It comes with many free items like a cover, and quick fittings, and also a set of 3 foot tracks to be cut down to be used to adjust it fore and aft.

This should look real similar to Lafayette Bruce's Bimini as far as size.

What a pain....... When I get it I will do a DIY on it.

Thanks every one, I hope this works out good.

Mac,

Good luck with it. I have been please with that companies products. Quick tip... when you mount the track make sure you don't butt it up against the genoa track. I did that at the back of the genoa track on Serenity and it tends to hold water there and accumulate gunk.
