Re: Bimini top.
I have to carefully watch how far I run, it's easy to blow a lot of money if I get carried away. But some things you gotta do. I'd rather run the formula twice a month than a binliner every day.

Re: Bimini top.
I Fourth that opinion, if thats possible.
Its not unusual for me to do £300.00 of fuel in a weekend. Thats about $600.
But what fun is boating in a tupperware box?
My last Boat was a 2002 Four Winns 268 Vista. Nice boat, good value for its size but a complete compromise! It did absolutely nothing well!
My Formula at least does what the makers claim and any other requirements can be met ashore. Caravans are for Trailer Parks.
Besides, the formula looks cool on its mooring so it still gives pleasure when money is tight and i cant go for a blast.
Motoring legislation is getting so tight in the UK now along with an ever increasing number of road users that i have lost all interest in my cars and motorcycles. I dont spend much money in these areas anymore as i cant seem to get the satisfaction anymore. I have now decided to concentrate on boating in a big way before that too is seen to be an antisocial and politicaly incorrect thing to do and legislated to death.
You guys would'nt believe the rules we have here in the UK.
Well thats that off my chest, now where my latest copy of Hot Boat?

Re: Bimini top.
R-Don, I found the cover. It still is in perfect shape, been neatly folded in the house for the last ??? years! I don't know what it's worth, but I know how much it would cost to make!! I was hanging on to it thinking someday I may go back to a 242, but that is too difficult after having a 292!! So, if you would like it, email me an offer @ [email protected] and your address so I can figure out how to get it to you if everything works out!
