Need Bimini Dimensions for a 1987 Hunter 26.5

[Barry]

I am in the Florida Keys and I have a chance to purchase a new bimini top for my 1987 Hunter 26.5 at a unbelievable price but I don't know the width dimensions from deck to deck and the boom heigth since my boat is back home. Is there anyone out there with the same year and model who could give me a few measurements off your boat while I am down here. I need the width measurements from deckside mounting plate to the other side, and the boom height. Would greatly appreciate since I could buy it while I am down here and save shipping. Thanks

I have an 88...

...and hopefully will be going down there tomorrow. I'll be happy to send measurements if they would help. What is the deal on the bimini and are there more? Also I'd love to see a photo of what you boat looks like after installation. When you say "deck to deck" are you talking about the outer dimensions on top of the deck or closer to the back of the seats in the cockpit, which I think of as an inner dimension? Where do you want the boom height measured from, at the end of the boom, in the cockpit or closer to the mast?

Glenn G..... I need these measurements

The biminis I am looking at are from a marine parts surplus dealer who gets them from various powerboat companies who had excess inventories or who change models, he has them in aluminum and stainless steel and in different colors Price on stainless steel is about $285 (great price for stainless supported bimini)The measurement I need is about three quarter way back in the cockpit across the boat from midpoint on either side of deck,(there is about a foot of deck space on either side). The boom measurement I need would be from when the boom is swung port or starboard to where the bimini plates would mount on either side then I'll know what height bimini to buy.
