Hello, this may or may not me the right section to post this question, but I am restoring this boat so I think it applies. I am looking for some sort of top, preferably a bimini, for this 1994 Chris Craft Concept 197, and I know that it has existing mounts already, and I don't really want to drill new holes if I don't have to.

I would like to use the existing mounts, but every bimini top kit that I see, it seems that they want you to drill into your gunwales to mount their brackets.

My MAIN question: Is anyone here familiar with these mounts and where I can find an applicable frame and everything so I can put a top on this boat?

PS please ignore the crappy cosmetic condition of my boat lol, it's going to be polished and reupholstered eventually. Thanks
