Island Nautical
If you're looking for an economical self-install bimini or dodger then Island Nautical's INdodger has what you need. They are on the internet and can also be found in the Defender catalog. If you decide to use their product I recommend that you deal direct with Island Nautical. Going through Defender only adds one more layer of cost and complication. I made the mistake of going through them and when it took too long for my dodger to show up I called Island Nautical and they told me it was on their shipping dock. All they needed was the payment from Defender. I had paid Defender at the time of the order and they simply held onto the money till I gave them a call and explained what my next (legal) step would be if they didn't send the money they already had to the company it was owed. However Island Nautical was good to deal with. They had folks who could help standing by on an 800 number for install advice and to deal with any problems. I installed the thing myself and it came out pretty good. It held up fine for about 8 years and only needed restitching at that point.
