Pontoon Bimini Tops with Flare for Style

As I was browsing the internet looking at different bimini tops it occurred to me that they really all look pretty similar. The difference between most of them has a lot to do with price. Price can be influenced by many different variables. The biggest probably being where it was manufactured. Find a bimini top for under 200.00 with a frame? You can bet it was probably made in China. That is just the way it goes. There are also the “cookie cutter” bimini tops and frames out there as well. Nothing wrong with that. There is a place in the market for those type of bimini tops and frames too. Quality of the raw materials, work force, even location go into pricing out these very similar looking tops. No doubt some are better than others. No doubt about it, you typically get what you pay for. But what if you want something different? Something that will set your boat off from everyone else? The bimini top is very often the first thing people notice about your boat when you are out on the water. I for one like to be the guy on the water that has something different than everyone else. I like being approached by fellow boaters about my boat and my bimini top. I’ve got a bimini top unlike any other on the lake I’m on. The frame is curved. Not curved side to side – everyone’s does that. No my main bow, front bow, and braces are curved. They “lean back” as my son puts it. We did it for a reason – it looks pretty cool on the boat. It attracts attention. It is different than any other bimini top I’ve seen. There are a couple of boat builders out there doing it now too. It is catching on. I haven’t seen any in the aftermarket yet though – except for mine. My Northstar Bimini Top with a curved frame. It turns heads wherever I go. Won’t cost you an arm and a leg either.

Best Quality Pontoon Boat Bimini Top

I was surfing the net today to see what the competiton was up to. When I do that sort of thing I try really hard to put myself in the shoes of a consumer - you know, someone who is looking to buy a bimini top. I try to keep an open mind...I really do. Sometimes it is difficult though to keep a straight face. Here are a few things I "learned" today:

If your bimini top hasn't faded in 5 years it probably won't fade in another 5 years.

90% of all pontoon boats are 8' wide.

People that sell on ebay are typically college students selling out of their dorm room

Wow...there were more great lines but to keep this from dragging on and on lets just leave it at these three. As someone that has been around different fabrics my whole life I can tell you the first line is a bit off. I was going to email the website and ask if they believed that statement will they give me a 10 year warranty on their 5 year fabric?

90% of all pontoon boats are 8' wide. If it were the year 1999 I'd agree a little more but not completely. Most are 8'6" wide in 2014.

I have bought and sold quite a bit on ebay. I have never had the impression the seller was in a dorm room. I have never sold anything from a dorm room.

As a consumer I feel a bit lost when it comes to who is saying what online. Bimini tops are not cheap. If I dig into this topic online far enough I am going to get more and more confused. I would want to call someone who can help. Call Northstar Products - we are here to help. We will answer all questions honestly. We won't pressure you into upgrades or try to sell you something that may or may not fit correctly. Doing business with us is like doing business with a family member or friend. We will treat you fair and help you pick out the right top for you and your boat. We are not a one size fits all sort of business. If you want your bimini frame and top to be 92" wide we are not going to make you buy an 8' wide frame and push it into a 92" wide boat. We will build it 92" wide for you. No extra charge to do it either. Remember you are working with a friend here.

Better Bimini Tops. Better Service

I am always impressed by the number of people that get a hold of me after they have installed their bimini top to tell me how much they like it. These loyal customers go out of their way to send me an or a phone call to thank me for a great top at a fair price. I start to think about how often I have done that for a company I have purchased something from. I can only recall one time. I called McDonalds because I was so impressed the soda did not taste like syrup. It's not that I'm not satisfied with the purchases I've made. Overall I am. Typically though I only call if there is a problem. Then I weigh the option of calling or not. Will I be on hold, will I understand the person I speak to. Will they understand me? What are the chances my issue will be resolved the way I want? Thus unless I have a huge problem with the product I purchased I do nothing.

Having a customer call or email to praise how much they like the product we provide is not lost on me or our company. We realize it is a great compliment to how we do business. Most of our expectations as consumers are simply met but rarely exceeded. I am proud to know how often we exceed the expectations of our customers. I'm proud of the work we turn out, the workforce we employ and the value of being Made in the USA.
