My wife has been on me to get a bimini for the top of our houseboat (our baby girl is going to neeed some shade). By chance does anyone have the bimini top rails available that would fit a 36x12 Gibson? I can redo the canvas so the canvas condition doesn't matter....... I'm more interested in the hardware/rails.

If you're unsuccessful in finding a used unit this outfit actually makes complete bimini's in house though your specific boat isn't listed with some measurements supplied by you they could probably fix you up with one. NorthStar Products Inc.

i'm not sure where your located but there is a set of tops off a 12x42 gibson that will fit your gibson just fine just south of richmond in. there is 3 total. i went and looked at them and the canvas was even in pretty good shape. i didnt buy them becuase the canvas was red and i needed burgandy. they are still listed on craigslist. the mans name is larry and his # is.........765-265-2581. he's only asking 500 for all 3 with the canvas and all hardware.

Wow, 42gibson!!!!! Thanks for the info. I thought all of the 42' Gibsons had a 14' beam. Thanks for the info. I'll be looking into this shortly.
