Boat Umbrella. I have sent a message to this guy but he cant give me accurate information. Some photos show a different mount than others and also some umbrellas have stainless shafts where other are just painted. Would like to get one or something real similar.

I think the Anchor Shade design is much better that that one. The 4 tie downs really help hold it well.

I have seen the anchor shade as well. I like the idea of not having the 4 cords. My 25 Outlaw doesnt have much room and the clamp on the ebay one put it tight to one seat.

That umbrella thing would fail in the slightest breeze. I had an anchor shade. Bought it when my first daughter was born to keep her out of the sun. Used it once and returned it. What a pain in the ass to deal with. My suggestion is spend the money on a proper bimini or deal with the sun.

Did you scroll down and look at the clamp at the base? Looks pretty stout to me.

I have an anchor shade and never use it, to bulky to get out and put away.

I would buy this if it was non marring as my bolster stands are painted.

West Marine sells anchor shades also.

Don't plan on using it when the boat is in motion. I dont like the anchor shades. I would buy the one on ebay if the guy could tell me what I am getting. They got to be for sale somewhere else?

Id spend the money and get a bimini top. Well worth the money no matter what it costs. XT might have some pics of the one on his 29 Outlaw.

That boat umbrella is just butt ugly. Your not Mary (F**kin) Poppins!

Where do you suppose I store the bulky bimini when not in use? I don't need anything more than an umbrella. We would only use it when it got hot up like at 85*

Bimini looks terrible on a speed boat, anchor shade is a pain to set up and take down and if you move it falls. I would give the umbrella a try.
