I think Marshall is working on a fold-away "OEM" style bow set. I am not sure if Jim is going to be providing the canvas for it or not. Maybe one of them can chime in and let us know what is up.

I'm not doing bows....Havent talked to Marshall either.....I have finished getting the geometry right on the bimini top and will be finishing the full top design over the next couple weeks....I don't think I'll be happy buying a top that isnt a perfect fit with minimal/no flapping so I need to hurry up and get finished making mine before it gets cold/cooler......
So, Find some bows Mike and you can check out my Canvas when its done....I've got some nice thick treated Canvas similar to OEM weight......I was going to go with the Seamark but I wanted a heavier material......Just personal preference though - The Seamark is stellar but the Canvas should last a lifetime if cared for......
Here's the bimini, which is basically what the top of a full top would be......

top looks great

Dang I am glad that I have such a talented guy living right around the croner. That bimini top looks awsome. It beats the last "OEM type top" that you had on your 40 hands down. It has alot better fit and design and that is just from looking the pics. Can't wait to see it in person.
