Looking for a bimini top for my Hunter23.5. I have found many 3 bow tops, but I'm having trouble finding one with the rear supports that holds the top up when not in use. The ones I'm finding, lay flat on the boat when not in use. Has anyone had success in finding the one I'm looking for?

They sell them at thisI believe made by Ameriseam original supplier. site at hunter store,or go to Ameriseam website.
yes this site sells the one your looking for , bought mine from them and it came with the short back suppports, careful drilling theres a metal plate back there on the coaming.
DJN51 is correct that Ameriseam sells the products to this website. I suggest going to This site if purchasing one. I can tell you they are made well but do give the year of the boat.
I have known all the owners of Ameriseam and they are very reputable just like this Store site.

I purchased mine from Ameriseam and it works beautifully. Supported on the aft bow when not in use. They even sent me fabric samples so I could choose the color that matched my boom cover. They only issue I have is the hardware. It's a type of plastic. I may replace them with stainless steel from West Marine. But that is not big deal. You can't beat the price and the quality is good. Highly recommend Ameriseam. You do need to know the year of your boat as another post mentioned.
Bimini Top hardware
Bill,
You might check out this sites store or Sailrite for the hardware these guys don't carry. Just an example: an 7/8" eye end (top cap) fitting at West is $16.95, this store $4.77 and the same at Sailrite is $6.50.
Mine eyes were opened to this when looking for common sense fasteners and Wests price was 6x that of Sailrite.

You can buy the hardware for the supports separately from the full bimini. I bought some I haven't installed yet; it's pretty far down on my priority list.
Thanks for the insight to the Bimini supports. After stopping at a couple of boat dealers, I found they sell the rear supports separately, that hold up the bimini when not in use.
