Default Bimini top

Tell me how horrible it looks

or maybe some Ideas???

It is 110 plus here in the summer so I have to have one.
I photochopped this. The local guy has a High speed ( stainless) top I can get for 350. It is dark navy blue.
Doesn't it look too short front to back. It is 6 feet long

There isn't anyone that will make a better bimini than Paul Murphy. Period.

Does Paul have to have the boat in person to make one?

Check out how much canvas I put on my Florida ride. It may not look as cool but it sure keep us cool under that wicked Florida sun.

No pictures of mine (yet). However I have a 6 ft top, but do not use the rigid poles on the back, I use the straps front and rear. This allows me to lay it flat during the high speed runs with no drag. Also I installed a track where it allows me to slide the top forward or backward, also when it is down I can slide it back over sunpad and then forward, in order to raise the pad to check oil. I also use quick release pins to remove altogether. I did buy rigid poles for the back support, just finalizing the way I want to mount so that it will flat, also with quick release pins. I meant to take pics last summer, but just too much of a hurry to hit the water, then forgot about the pics.
