Hello jhnmdahl

Yes, indeed and Thanks for the feedback. The folks at Samson were top notch and I would recommend them to anyone looking to add a tower/Bimini to their rig! If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out to me, I am always willing to be of assistance.
Cheers!

Thanks! I installed it myself. The install was initially straight forward; however, there were some required critical steps (setting the base pads to match gelcoat curvature of my boat) in the process that were not shown in the instructions and video. Due to this, I had alignment issues; however ...

Thanks, AsLan7!

One thing I didn't mention; the tower is fully collapsible; you just loosen two knobs at the base, the gas struts inside the frame lighten the load and it just comes down for easy stowage so it can fit through the standard 10-foot storage garage door. Can't wait to wake board and ...

Greetings all. I finally have my new Samson "Blade" tower w/Bimini installed on my 282 BR. The whole process took 5 months, but it was worth the wait. I am still doing some tweaks and adjustments on the Bimini and should have the minor kinks worked out soon. Samson has diagrams and fitment for ...

The folks at Samson (Melody and Scott) were VERY helpful and responsive at all stages of the measuring, options, fitment, and ordering ...

There are 6 x SS screws around the trim on the fridge, then it comes right out. You have to maneuver it at an angle to get it out. The electrical connection is at the top right, with a metal enclosure and two wire connectors, and a ground wire. There is a lot of space once it is out. The wiring ...

Thanks for all of your advice on this. I've decided to have one custom made out of Samson; however, they tell me they have never made one of these for the 282 so I will be going through a long journey of measuring and collaborating with them. I like their models and build process, but their Bimini ...

Hello all
I just joined up here. I purchased a 2006 Cobalt 282BR a year ago and really enjoy this boat. It has a factory Bimini top; however, I am interested in finding an arch tower, preferably a used OEM that they originally came with new. I've had no luck finding one and now thinking of having ...
