Binini for 1982 Hunter 33 Cherubini????

Look around your marina for ideas & for features that you like. Then get your local canvas guy & sail loft to take a look & tell them what you’re looking for. With SS frame & durable fabric, I would expect estimates to be around $4-5k. I wouldn’t consider an off the shelf model.
I have a dodger, but no bimini on my ‘82 H30. A bimini is certainly possible. You just have to find the right shop to do it. I personally just don’t particularly want one.
When I needed new canvas about seven years ago, I made two changes to the existing frame for safety:
1. Added foreword struts to make it a rigid frame rather than having aft straps I considered to be trip hazards.
2. Added side grab bars for boarding and moving safely from cockpit to side decks.

Speaking of safety, skin cancer, especially melanoma is a serious risk. I wouldn’t have a boat without a bimini; preferably one with a dodger+ Bimini & connector.
I have one that was made by a sail loft shop in Clear Lake Texas before I bought the boat . It's relatively small though and has to to be zippered because of the backstay -see attached
