Prostar 190 Bimini Top

I want to mount a bimini top to my 1992 prostar 190. Does anyone have pictures of how they mounted theirs? I'm thinking I want to mount it to the windshield.

Has anybody bought one of the Westland Sharkskin Bimini tops for 91-94 PS190 from iBoats? I'm curious if the size is right (67-72) and if this assumes mounting it to windshield frame. Any more pictures of one would be great.

Thanks, Is that Bimini 5' long? I was thinking of getting a 5 footer and then go about 65" high (from the floor). Thoughts?

Bimini was 6' long and 5.5' off the floor of the boat. I think A 5' bimini would be fine. I know that BrianM's bimini is a shorter bimini and lower bimini, for your reference. Here is a pic of his... http://www.tmcowners.com/photopost/s...ppuser=50&sl=b

i mounted my westland bimini on my 93 prostar with stainless steel angle mount brackets I picked up from a local cover shop. they are designed to create a vertical slot on almost any angled surface. they are stronger than the plastic angle mounts you can get from overtons. I mounted them outside of the windshield about 2 inches up from the rub rail. i recall my mount was about 18 inches forward of the back edge of the windshield metal. unfortunately i do not have any pics. just center the mount over your desired shade area, ie. the seating area.

Here's how I had my OEM top mounted on my 93 205.

To me, this forum is about love of inboard boats. It is about the sharing of information and, on a good day, some humor. It is not about post count, brand of boat, or any other superfluous labels that lend themselves to a false sense of superiority. Please, respect one another, try to pass on accurate information, and keep your eye on the ball.
