I did but didn't have the color I needed and could not provide a time frame of when they would. Have ordered other items from them grate to deal with. But I did also get 10% from other company also.

good call! Just making sure...

I have one that we ordered with our Bennington and it works great. The only thing you have to watch out for is unlike the older hydraulic version which had both the front and rear arms powered, the electric is just the front. So when you fold it back down the rear section just kind of flops down to the deck. Scared the daylights out of my dog the first time.

We ordered one on our new Bennington and REALLY like it. We have several low bridges to go under to go from lake to lake and it is a one finger operation now, instead of stopping the boat, taking it down, put it back up, then take it down, soooo much better. It was the one and only option my wife wanted for just that reason. Happy wife, happy life!

Plus is out later in the day and need some shade while sitting, just put the back end of the boat to the sun and lower the bimini until the back bar is on the back and leave it there. If windy, you will need to anchor on the windward side. Or if going under bridges lower it only as far as needed. Plus when coming up to the lift with a canopy, just press the button and it is down by the time you are up to the lift.

The fabric cover it a lot lighter than the cover on our last boat, Sweetwater, that was a heavy vinyl which added to the weight when putting up and down. Boot goes on really easy and you can put it up with the boot on so you have good vision to the rear when out on the water and for going out the back door.

Thanks good to see positive info since I already ordered it. Another thing I liked it came with the rf receiver and remote at no extra charge. 899.00 10% off made it 809.10. No tax and free shipping. Can't wait to receive it

I am putting one on my boat right now. I bought it used, from a member here, and damaged, from a falling tree.

I need to say, the guys over at Schwintek, have the best customer service I have experienced it a long time. They are completely helpful, and answer any question I have about the top and how it works. They sold me spare parts to repair the damage, and are helping me with some modifications I want to preform to make the "radar position" a little higher, for clearance.

If you haven't looked at it, go do so, it is a great product sold by a good company.

Received it yesterday. Plan on putting it on this weekend can't wait to see how it works.

Schwintek is a top notch company. I did some beta testing on the PWR ARM II before it was released to the public and I can't say enough good things about every one involved. The number one goal with this top was to develop a top notch product. Unlike some manufactures who look for ways to cut cost and improve margins, these guys wanted the best product available, period. Their facility is the cleanest manufacturing facility I've ever seen, and every one there is fantastic to deal with. I loved my power top, and I'm sure you will too.
