Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Hi:
We have a 2013 South Bay 20’ 500 series pontoon boat. The
Guy that stores our boat for the winter managed to destroy the
Bimini Top Framework, Canvas Top, and matching Boot.
The Canvas is Forest Green.

There are only (2) South Bay dealerships in Wisconsin. One dealership recommended an aftermarket and was too busy. The
Other has just left us hanging, as has South Bay.

I would prefer a new South Bay Framework and canvas done correctly by a dealership. I’m reluctant to go aftermarket, as there are a number of choices and none of the look quite right.

We have the 1.25” square tubing type with Dowco Attachments
70.5” apart (on center).

Does anyone have any suggestions.

I would do PS...

I have an '06 Lowe Suncruiser pontoon boat. The double bimini top was made by Dowco, not by Lowe. Very few, if none at all, manufacturers make their own bimini tops. Dowco still makes my bimini tops and enclosure panels. If your original pieces are Dowco, they should have a part # number tag on each piece. That makes ordering easier. If not, their website can take you to your specific model. Also, I have called Dowco personally and they have always been very helpful. However, your color may or may not be available.
I don't know about framework and Dowco....ask.
Now, check out RNR-marine.com. They claim to supply original canvas pieces also......and maybe frame work.

update:
upon further research. Southbay is made by Forest River?...berkshire-Hathway?.....you need to find out and contact them if southbay will not help.
Dowco didn't show anything with southbay...Forest River...berkshire-hathaway.....but it's confusing as to who makes your boat.

and is there a part tag?
