What brand bimini and fabric should i buy for a 99 response lx?

Thanks in advance, appreciate any assistance here and direction on where to get one...

Maybe Star One, ask for Brett, he should be able to point you in the right direction.

As for fabric, I'd say Sunbrella. We have it on our bimini as well as the cushions on our outside patio furniture, stuff is durable and doesn't seem to fade in the Texas sun.

Good luck.

for Sunbrella, not sure where to get your bimini, but make sure it's Sunbrella.

Do you have a tower, or a pylon?

I got the Sharkskin bimini from Overtons for my Skier without a tower. I was very happy with it. Here's the thread where I installed it:

I have a Sunbrella top on my new boat and I can tell its much tougher fabric. Not sure its worth the extra up front cost though. I guess time will tell.

The big question is does your RLX have a tower. If so which one?

Being that old, I'd guess a Titan I, Skylon tuna, or a Boss. It may not be as easy as placing an order...

I'd go find a canvas shop and have them make you one.

Is there a place to get replacement Bimini's? I have a 2010 Response LXi with a XTP (i think thats what its called) tower. It currently has a Bimini, but sure would like to know I can get a replacement when this one wears out, and be nice to purchase stock / OEM, rather than having one custom made/ reverse engineered.

TowerBiminis is where I got my replacement. My original bimini was made by them and the new one they did for me is a lot nicer. I have the Titan III tower so it was just a matter of calling them and placing the order. 2 week turn-around from the phone call to my doorstep.
