I have done both. My first boat was a 17.5'. I ordered a Hurricane Bimini from Overton's. I also ordered the sliders. The fabric was sunbrella, but there were less expensive choices. I made sure it was tall enough to stand under it. It worked just fine and yes I took it down to go under the Back Bay bridge.

My currrent boat has a made to fit bimini from Bayview Canvas, no longer there. The quality of the frame is much better and it was made to my exact specifications and less expensive that the mail order one.

If you cannot get one made I would buy one online and try to sell it next year and have one made.

I hope this helps.
