Hey guys. Just signed a purchase agreement on a 98 Hunter 340. Sea trial and survey this weekend. Assuming all goes well, I'll need a new Bimini top. Can anyone recommend a good canvas shop around Mandeville, La? Really appreciate any advice.

Thanks guys for the quick reply. I appreciate the help. I'm sure I'll need plenty more before it's over. This is my first sailboat, so it should be interesting. But I'm glad to be crossing over from the dark side.:)

Welcome aboard, Andre!
I am temporarily in Slidell while the marina is re-furbished.. but should be back in Mandeville later this summer.. Would be happy to sit and chat and maybe sip a beverage anytime!

Thanks. That would be great. I'm sure I can use plenty of help. Supposedly the marina won't be finished until August. Maybe as late as November from what they told me. I'll probably be moving there when they get it done. But look me up when you get back over here.

where are you now?

Where is your boat now Andre? Marina space is pretty scarce in Mandeville since the work started at Claude's marina.

I could take over the slip at Colberts Cove where the boat is now. But, the latest development is the boat is advertised as a shoal draft boat and I don't believe it is. I found a prior survey of the boat, done by a respectable surveyor in this area, that clearly says the keel is 5'11" which is not a shoal draft. It sounds to me like he actually put a tape measure on it. For me, it's a deal breaker. It's pretty annoying that they would advertise it be one thing, when it's not. Makes me wonder what else they're hiding. So, thanks for the help, but I'm going to pass on this one and keep looking.
