My Custom Monster Tower Cargo Bimini

Ok, so what did it cost you?

Cargo top is an awesome addition, kinda ties everything together.....BTW Pictures of scenery like that have got me wanting outta the city!!! That place looks great.....

hahah... thanks! It's a nice wooded lot but I'm actually right in town. Sure, it's sort of a small town but it's still only 15 minutes from downtown st. paul.

The nicest part is that that garage (which needs quite a bit of exterior work) is actually double-deep. Still not big enough to hold all the toys AND cars, though!! Doh!

I was hoping to get it all done for less than retail on the monster-cargo... but.... couldn't find a canvas guy for what I thought was a "fair" price... ended up spending a lot more than I had hoped on the canvas. Total cost was around $50 more than retail. I made a mistake early on in the process -- I installed the frame before I had any canvas. Once I found out how expensive custom-made canvas was going to cost, I learned that the OEM for Monster would custom make me red canvas from the Monster pattern. I would have had the whole top for quite a bit less than retail but I didn't want to risk that the places I put the mounts wouldn't line up with their pattern.

Here's another photo with some boards on there.... It's been a completely worthwhile addition so far!



You can see we have a bit of a lean going on.

Again, the cargo bimini looks great & makes a great board quiver. Nice list to port - must look really exaggerated with the tall tower. The two "bow accessories" look nice too

From the last pic, I think you're right that the tower is Titan inspired, but not Titan - besides the extra height you have, the way the front wishbone attaches to the rear hoop is different from Titan's method.

Wish I had that extra height on my TII. The inward bend and swoop of the wishbone is confounding my feeble brain. I can't figure out how to design a cargo style bimini to fit that still has decent headroom and shade coverage. Hopefully once all the pieces are actually installed, a solution will become more evident.

Wotan I didn't know we were quite that close to each other. We gotta ride sometime!!

[wotan2525]

Absolutely.... Are you closer than St. Cloud now??

I've got room for my tower speakers to sit below the tower but above the boards right now.... and.... still have over 6.5' of head room!! It might look a little crazy but it's hella functional!

I have always been on the Mississippi in Anoka. Fecal_Fejita Shawn lives in Coon Rapids and also brings his boat on the Miss.

The wifey is from StCloud and we go there often. We have friends who boat on the Miss there but it's not nice and deep like it is here (manmade depth).
