HI EVERYONE,
WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD PICS OF A FULL SCREEN ENCLOSURE ON A 2010 21-ec? I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO DO THIS BUT NEED SUGGESTIONS....ANY PICS/PRICES 😀 WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS
 
No pictures, but a suggestion. Have some of the vertical panels made with both screen and issingglass, locate them for cross ventilation.

I will email you a couple of pics of ours. We had the manufacturer of the basic bimini build ours which expands on the stock bimini. It includes screening for ventilation and insect control. Check your manufacturer's label on the bimini and contact them. Very high quality work but does involve some installation on your part if you're not in the manufacturer's neighborhood. Not terribly difficult to install but takes time and thought in positioning snaps, etc. Really expands the use of the 21 in cool/cold weather and the cabin heater can heat the space underway by leaving the cabin door open. A bit of a challenge storing pieces of the sides/top on board. Also involves an additional bow on ours that helps extend the original bimini. Biggest care should be given drilling fiberglass for snaps (use right size of drill bit, etc.). Visually, it gives the 21 a rather bulbous appearance but it sure works!
 
Uh, Naturechick23. You might pm me with your email address and I'll just forward to pictures. Can't seem to get the pics to transfer to this posting process.
 
If you send your email, I will forward a few shots showing my bimini. The original owner installed it (for around $10000 I think!), so I could look around for the builder, but likely done in either Washington State or Victoria BC area. Very high quality, the snap system works great. Downside is it is a fairly permanent setup and would not easily come down for a hot day or weekend - it would take too much work and time. Also, I have all windows, no screens, but that shouldn't be an issue for the manufacturer.
 
Send me your email and I will send you pictures of our enclosure. We have a double bimini and zip on/off sides for nights or inclement weather. We have found it to be very watertight and have slept on the tug in winter and found it very cosy.
