I am looking for recommendations for a Bimini top that is OEM replacement for my 2013 242 LTD-S, with forward facing tower. I have found Yamaha OEM for around $500, but would not mind better quality for a little more. ***Please note*** I cannot take off the existing as a pattern due to the wind sheering the heck out of it on a 75 mile trip, and it is pretty much demolished in the front (SEE PHOTO). I would need to get from someone who already has a pattern. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. Need to purchase asap as I do not have one and the weather is starting to get warm here in PA.

I had to find a local marine uphostery company and had one custom made. I gave him my OEM top, but he normally likes to have the boat for a day or so to measure and adjust. He ended up coming out to my dock. Used Sunbrella material. Turned out great. Normally $650 for the custom top.
