How can I find a bimini enclosure?

[WayUpNorthGuy]

I'm looking at picking up a 1990 Bayliner Ciera 2755. For the life of me, I can not find anyone that has a full bimini enclosure for it. Do I have to have it custom made ($$$$) or is there a place that sells a kit? I would love to find a used one but I think I would have to be pretty lucky.

Doubt your going to find anything off the shelf for a 30 year old boat.

You may get lucky and find a kit but they are typically “make it work” sceneries at best.

Custom is probably the only way you’ll get something that factually fits the boat

And it will cost about half of what you paid for the boat !

Google search not brand specific and $200 will get one shipped to your door.

Your model may have come OEM with a bimini if it had a radar arch, or more likely a convertible top if not. To retrofit with a bimini and an arch may be an issue because it would take a lot of measuring to get one to fit. If no arch, a stock bimini from IBoats would run in the $450 neighborhood and would be easy to install.

The enclosure is another issue. Buy some eisenglass and some canvas and a sewing machine and you could make one yourself. Easy peasy. You'd be making your own "Kit". Hire a canvas shop and it'll run you double what the boat is worth.

are you looking for a bimini or the camper enclosure.

keep in mind, the camper enclosure kit will be a few BOAT units.
