I am currently in the process of getting a bimini for the E-38-200. I got a frame from another e 38 owner that will fit fiine. It has 4 bows. Two large ones each with a small one angled towards the center. My bimini guy suggested I may want to consider doing a bimini that runs just forward to the end of the boom and has a connector flap to the dodger. This would eliminate the forward bow and allow for easier access to and from the cockpit. In placing the bimini frame on the boat for measurement it looks like getting in and out of the cokpit between the dodger and the bimini might be a squeeze. On the other hand not having to pay for a new frame would be cheaper. Question is on bimini styles here. What seems to work best with a dodger? What should I avoid? I have some pics of a dodger with the 2 bows from another member if I can get my pc to cooperate I'll post tomorrow. Also I have seen some pics on the opening page of this site of a boat with the bimini flap dodger set up, how do I view all of those pics?
