I would suggest to bring the boat to a co. that makes custom bimini's. That way it will be exact to the boat and tower.

Try Bimini Isle....I think they are located in the Stockton area. They will make a custom fit bimini for your boat.

Looks like a BareWest tower to me.

It does look like Barewest to me except I have never seen them bend the tower down near the mounts like that....

Tower looks like an old T-3 tower, used of be factory option for Centurion, Malibu & others. Went out of business. I believe the primaries started Titan after T-3's demise.

I'm gonna go with Kevin & Walt and suggest having a custom bimini made. All the biminis I have ever owned have been custom, have no complaints.

Cool, I will look into a custom bimini. Any idea what I can expect to spend? Scott, It ran perfect, pretty decent wake, didnt even fill the sacs.

It's a BareWest (www.barewest.com) ProZone tower I'm pretty sure, try to post a close up picture of the mounts if you can.

Looks like a boss to me also, judging by the mounts. i have a t-3, it doesnt look much like that

(cmawsr) · (cmawsr) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 02-15-2005, 8:52 PM

here is a pic of my t-3

The square bases look exactly like the Barewest style but I'm not familar with the T-3 and maybe it had differen versions of bases over time.

For now it's the "Mystery Tower"!

Are the cross bars tubular or oval (flat). That should eliminate barewest if they are tubular. I believe????

tone_capone 02-17-2005, 1:50 PM

The bars are completely round, not oval.

(tyler97217) · (tyler97217) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 02-17-2005, 5:15 PM

correct me if I am wrong, but all barewest towers I have seen have oval (flat) cross beams so the other suggestions are the most likely...

If you don't mind me asking...how much did you pay for the boat?

It's definately an old boss you can tell by the shape and mounts
