Where to get a bimini top without spending a fortune?

I just picked up a 01 Malibu Sunsetter VLX w/ Corvette LS1 option. Has the Skylon Swoop Classic tower on it.

I have a 6 month old daughter, and really need a bimini top for the tower. But they all seem to be $600 - $900. Seriously, it is a bit of aluminum tubing, a small amount of canvas, and a couple hooks/straps. It seems pretty insanely priced. I'm not looking for anything overly fancy, just something to put some shade in the boat.

Any place that sells bimini tops on the cheap?

I just bought one from Iboats . It was a closeout, I payed $119 for it with free shipping. I had to do a little modifying to make it work with the tower. It worked out great without breaking the bank.

Any system less than $1000 on a boat is considered cheap.

I'm sure if you ask them nicely Iboats will sell you one for over $1000.

Not sure if it will fit, but heck out http://www.h2osportswarehouse.com/ They also put some up on ebay every now and again. They are $529 with free shipping. I have one and it works and looks great. Maybe even craigslist.
