Bimin Rocket Launcher

Rob, are you able to roll the bimini up into it's cover with the rocket launcher still on, or does it come off and on relatively easily in order to zip up the bimini?

Sorry Rob, took a while to find them, The company that I got my Bimini from is Boatarama online. http://www.ebay.com/sch/boatarama/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3984 They actually carry a rocket launcher kit much like the one you have... might even be the same company.. but if you buy their rocket launcher kit they also give you an optional set of rear support poles for free...
At any rate, if you're looking for support poles, I highly recommend these guys.. fast shipping, fair prices and the bimini I got from them was a top quality unit for the price. And I love the 1" double walled tubing they use for their frames. Very, very strong.

The fabric is not the worlds best/thickest kinda stuff, but it's good and it's waterproof, and for the money I figured that if I got 3 years out of it I'd be happy... the quality of the frame is top notch though...sturdy, good hardware, etc etc. I think you'll be pleased with what you get :)

Sorry it took so long to get back....alas, no the bimini cover will not fit on with the rocket launcher installed as is. Its only the one small support on the ends that prevent the cover from slipping over completely. If I like it I'm pretty sure all that would need to be done is slit the sides of the boot up a couple of inches and then have the raw edges sewn up. Hard to explain but hopefully you get the idea.

Thanks for reporting back. Looks like a nice temporary solution until I can afford a hard-top.
