I'm trying to find a set of these bimini Struts. It's for a 2005 Malibu VLX-illusion X tower.. Any suggestions Thanks Upload

Good luck and prepare to pay through the freakin' nose for them! I lost the strut that holds the bimini down in the back last year. $105 later I had some aftermarket strut, ONE strut! Freakin' stupid expensive. This all of course because Metcraft went out of business.

Hope u can find them.

Try talking to a Tige dealer since Metcraft is out of business. They have a metcraft tower and the Bimini is very very similar to those on the malibus.

2nd Tower Bimini. John will definitely get it handled and it will not cost you a fortune. He is the best around.

Just about any shop that does boat canvas & upholstery can make these parts for you. They will have a big catalog full of SS parts to chose from, and can custom cut & bend the SS tubing easily.

Typically biminis are all custom made specifically for one boat. So the shop usually has a guy there that is familiar with how to make all those supports.
