Looks really nice and any canvas guy worth his weight could put this together. Certainly one of most attractive I've seen for a 260. As long as the fwd section can be easily unbuttoned to lift the pop top or use the winches it'd a great addition.
I'd considered a fwd section like this but even further fwd under the vang so the poptop could be lifted at anchor. I just couldn't get the flow of all the angles to my liking and never moved on it.
The only thing I'd consider is possibly finding a way to snap in a couple of clear sections on each side to keep more rain/cold wind from blowing into the cockpit when motoring upwind or at anchor.
Very nice. Mike

Looking at the picture,I see a couple potential ptoblems.
Couple things here might drive you nuts. The side of the bimini is so close to the winches that you might have a hard time cranking on the winch handle. Could be a problem hoisting sail or raising the mast. It also might cause problems with the pop top.

Try AmeriSeam Industries in Florida.Did the pop for my 23.5 Hunter 813 8558677 Iknow they make poptop for your boat.its on their site.
I think any canvas shop would be able to make it from that photo and measurements you can provide. I know the canvas/sail shop near my marina could.
Go thru the forum to get a camper top. I think you may be thinking of that. Look under store and go to Hunter parts and then specify the boat. HOW store can help you. The deal direct with Ameriseam and they have the specific patterns.
Many do not know of my relationship with so many and Ameriseam is just one as I introduced them to the marine industry with the original owners. Jim Larson at Ameriseam is dedicated to quality.
Again I think you are talking about the camper top and before you buy, submit a photo to confirm what you saw or go on line and look at "camper top". If it is something else, then you will need to go local to have it made.

That looks sweet. There is also a nice 'home made' top in the mod section. Very well put together with side flaps. I just purchased the one from the site that Dave mentioned. Soon, as it wams up I will be installing it. I like the idea of having a window looking forward, which mine does not have, so I may add one if I find it necessary.
I agree with the other comments, it would be a pretty straight forward job for a canvass guy. Build it to your requirements. Good luck.
