I have a boston whaler outrage, 22' and it comes with a partial bimini/canvas cover. It's missing the top piece but I'm hoping to find a location where I can purchase one. Anyone have any suggestions other than "search the internet" or "craigslist?"
Thanks.

Do you still have the frames from the original top?
If you are going to get something that mates up to the rest of the canvas, I would recommend with the Mills canvas. It is a little expensive, but very well made & worth it in my opinion.

I think we need some clarity to help you.
Boston Whaler offered a flying top which is a small bimini, as well as a regular bimini, bow dodger and side curtains.
Can you describe the piece you have? How long is it? Do you have the frame but not the fabric?

Bimini is generic for Sun Top.
it comes with a partial bimini/canvas cover.
Not sure what you mean by partial Bimini?
Are you missing just the sunbrella fabric?
Mills sells just the sunbrella fabric w/out frame if that is what you are missing.
1. Sun Top
2. Fly Top (smaller then the Sun Top)
Here is an Outrage 20' with the Mills Flying Top Set which includes the Fly Top, Forward Shelter and Windshield.

The above also has the Side Curtains and the Aft Curtain.

Let us know a little more about what you have or have not.

I agree with Phil. If you show some pictures of the pieces you have, we can probably determine which top you would need.
I might be wrong, but I thought only the flying top was made to attach to the rest of the shelter kit. If those are indeed the side & rear curtains to a full shelter kit, you definitely want to go with a Mills top. Those components will attach right to the replacement top canvas.
It completely transforms the boat with the full canvas set installed. My personal page shows the front shelter & flying top on my 21 Outrage. I had the side & rear canvas as well, and absolutely loved it. It allows you to take the boat out in the worst weather, and you stay nice & dry.
What year & make hull do you have?
