Re: [OMC-Boats] omc boat

I'm quite interested in the slides you used. Could you explain a bit more as I'm interested in doing this on my Sportsman. ________________________________ From: BLDFW <bldfw@...> To: Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's <omc-boats@...> Sent: Mon, December 21, 2009 3:11:39 PM Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] omc boat I agree! ;-)  I installed a new 8' Bimini top on my Explorer, unfortunately at the end of this season so I've not experienced it yet.  I ordered it at the right height to walk under it.  I also put it on slides so I could slide it all the way back when exposing the forward seats to the sky cabriolet style or forward to the windshield leaving he rear seats exposed. -Bill Dallas, TX 1970 Evinrude Explorer - 155 Buick V6 - OMC Sterndrive http://www.photobucket.com/evinrude_explorer --- On Mon, 12/21/09, Lee Shuster <Lee.Shuster@...> wrote: >From: Lee Shuster <Lee.Shuster@...> >Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] omc boat >To: "'Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's'" <omc-boats@...imate.com> >Date: Monday, December 21, 2009, 12:40 PM > > >By "canvas top" I'm assuming you want to retain the original folding frame and attaching hardware? > >The original company that supplied the OEM tops and covers was located in Sandusky, Ohio, but I 'm not sure what their current business status is.

This offers the benefit of "walk-under" height, while providing protection from UV sun rays. The sixties-style tops, looked cool, and did offer good protection from rain (when combined with clear side curtains) but IMHO, they are NOT very practical compared to modern bimini tops. > >But local conditions and personal preferences have a lot to do with making the right choices. > >Lee Shuster > >-----Original Message----- >From: omc-boats-bounces@...m [mailto:omc-boats-bounces@...] On Behalf Of Bob & Sally >Sent: Monday, December 21, 2009 9:39 AM >To: omc-boats@...m >Subject: [OMC-Boats] omc boat > >Hello, I have a 1970 sprotsman and need a new canvas top and piece for the windshield.  Will look forward to seeing if I can get any help.  Do you know of a company that has the paterns for a new top?  Thanks,Bob Erickson   Bangor, ME >_______________________________________________ >OMC-Boats mailing list >OMC-Boats@... >http://lists.ultimate.com/mailman/listinfo/omc-boats >_______________________________________________ >OMC-Boats mailing list >OMC-Boats@... >http://lists.ultimate.com/mailman/listinfo/omc-boats >
