Looking for a sleeker USCG vest for my wife.  I have a liquid force Watson I like quite a bit wondering if there's a model very similar in a ladies cut/color rather than just buying a smaller men's jacket.

Google not too helpful here hoping the crew knows.

This method is pretty well known on the Mastercraft site...

Came across it with our previous boat ('92 Prostar 205), and have had reasonable results.

 

I'll have to try that. Seems to have decent results. The Malco stuff isn't cheap. $100 here in Canada.

Hi all,

In the process of acquiring a 2019 TXI, only downfall is no bimini. 

Are there any other txi owners that have had to order/install/have dealer order or install that could shed some light? 

Local dealer (North TX) directed me to call a northern dealer since they don't know much about the responses. Northern dealer (MN) quoted 2800 shipped for the standard bimini, and is unsure if it comes with the mounting hardware, but assumes it does. Also noted 350 for this to come freight (seems absurd) and a 4-6 week lead time.

I asked about the malibuparts.com which he said wasn't reputable, and they have the biminis on there for 1900 free shipping With the correct part number from malibu I was quoted and same lead time from apex.

Is there aftermarket options that look decent? I also contacted apex directly to which they cannot sell me anything direct (figured) newer than 2010.

I've also talked to other people selling and noting there is a tournament style and standard style, any pros/cons between the 2?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I know responses seem harder to come by and less and less info along with it. Also any pics of hardware up close or anybody with a spare they are willing to part with let me know! Its hot down here and would like some shade for the hotter months coming!
