Install just finished by Coastal Marine Canvas in Cortez, FL of dodger (design, frame, and canvas), connector piece, and bimini (replaced worn canvas). Very impressed by their work and also reasonably priced. I've got my three 100 watt panels in, and my MPPT charger. Just need to get all put together on the new frame. Moving on Holiday in the next few months for open ended cruising, and the to do list continues to shrink! Smile

We need to do exactly the same thing. I like the look!

We want to raise our dodger so as to not have that steep drop in the connecting piece.

Did you get drop down panels as well?

If you don't mind PM'ng me the cost as well? I have no idea what this is going to cost me.

We didn't do the drop down panels but have thought about adding later. It seems to get pretty complex doing those, and we are planning to follow the warm weather. So, hopefully won't need them for that purpose. I have noticed that our bimini is just wide enough for rain water to drip directly down on the coaming that the winches sit on and splash into the cockpit. That will be something that will probably need fixing somehow. My wife attracts and gets welps from mosquitoes pretty bad. We just received in the mail today a 20'X20' piece of mosquito curtain from these guys: https://www.mosquitocurtains.com/1-foot ... eens.html. It's 2 10X20 pieces velcroed in the middle (that gets us around the back stay. We are going to go under the solar frame with it and cut 4 slits for the solar frame and velcro those. When deployed, the net will cover the whole dodger, bimini, and cockpit. We just got it, so haven't worked out tie down points and also if we will just roll up and store at the top of the bimini or totally remove and store below. Will post up on that as we figure it out.

Don't mind sharing price here at all. Hopefully helps everyone out:
Bimini and connector canvas and dodger canvas plus frame for dodger: $3408 (we had quotes for twice that)
Mosquito netting: $340
Solar frame and install: around $600
